    Mercruiser props

    I just bought a 1992 Mariah mx22c. It has 5.0 Mercruiser Alpa 1 drive. The motor and drive are in great shape, but the aluminum prop is a little chewed up. I like to replace it with a SS prop. The boat did not have any manuals. Does anyone know the the proper size and pitch for this boat?

We replaced the fuel pump amd this seemed to solve the problem. We had the boat out twice after this fix. the...
