    2013 Mercury 4-stroke 115hp – 115EXLPT - Prop?

    Welcome A 4 blade prop has more drag than a 3 blade and the rule of thumb is 2 inch pitch drop. While the the 4 blade will provide more lift it looks to me like you need more HP. Max HP rating for your boat list 150, so with 115 your at the lower end of it

    Look on the rear of the block and directly below where the distributor is. On the top deck of the block there is a number, what is it? On the heads look in between the rockers and on the ends, see what casting number is there?
