Thanks . What diameter is that . The alum prop that came on it doesn't have a size stamped in it . The label on lower unit says 12x22 with a 1.83-1 gear on it . I was turning 5000rpm and only getting 28 mph with two people
10 3/8 x 14p mercury trophy sport .....the 12 x22 is the gear ratio ,

My boat is much heavier then a stock boat. But the weight is set in with my rebuild to maximize bow lift.

You should be somewhere between 34 to 38 with that boat with a 14p. I'm running a 50 HP on a PT 165 with a 10 3/8x 14 prop and run 31 to 34 depending on conditions
Thanks for all the info , I will get a 14 pitch
How much below the pad are you guys setting for center of prop shaft ? I got a 14 pitch on it now was wondering about height
Second hole down from top. On motor to transom mount. Cav plate is 1” up from bottom of keel. Can’t remember off the top of my head. The measurement. But I think it’s about 6-1/2”

Hey Bullet, which prop did you order and how is it working out for you? Can you send a link. I’m looking to replace my 10.375 x 14 pitch stock prop for my 4 stroke 60 on my 175 but I’m such a noob when it comes to this I want to get a prop that will help me get a little more top end speed.
On a Tracker 175 TXW I got 30-35 with a 10 3/8 x 14p.
