2008 Verado 225 onto Robalo 24'

[Stroub]

I am completing the install of a 2008 Verado that I picked up onto my Robalo but the motor did not come with the prop. So how do I figure out which prop to use?
Three blade or four blade.
Thanks
Mike

Prop size is going to depend on the weight of he boat. A lot of good prop shops will allow you to try a prop before buying it.

I would start with a 14 x 17 and see where the rpms fall and go from there.

After running a 4 blade for the past 5 years, I'd never go back to a 3, especially with a boat as heavy as my Grady.

What did you have to do with the pitch and Dia. when switching from your old 3 blade to a 4 blade? Increase or decrease the pitch?

Thanks
