I have a friend who owns a 22' Crest pontoon with a Suzuki DF60. They are both 02 models, purchased new as a package. My friend is older and has had major back surgery from which he is still recovering so I am helping with maintenance and repairs on his boat.
The 60hp motor on this boat currently maxes out at about 4200-4400 rpm. According to the motor's documentation, it should top out at 5300-5800 rpm. Otherwise the motor runs great.
Can anyone help me with choosing the correct type, size and pitch for a new prop for this boat? It's a pontoon, so hole shots are not a priority. We mainly use it for cruising and sometimes we'll max it out when heading to a certain destination.
Thank you.
