best propeller for sailboat

[Eddie Lee]

Can anyone suggest the optimum propeller (pitch, etc) for a 1976 Johnson 6 HP motor to push a 4600 pound 25' sailboat with 4.5' draft?

There are a variety of propellers available from Michigan props, just wondering which would be optimum for a heavy sailboat.

Thanks,

Eddie

9¼ x 6½ Is just perfect for your combination. The Johnson/Evinrude part number is 0392183 but is no longer available. I have 2 Johnson 6HP, but I have to switch the prop when using either on my Ranger23. I have been looking for
another (or 2) 9¼ x 6½; so if you find a source, let us know.

BTW, I don't know that the 9-1/4 diameter prop [392183] will work on the 1976. It was sold for 1980 and up.
