maybe you should stick with prop.....
and use whatever the manufacturer of your boat recommended.....

Never hesitate to ask any questions there are no stupid Qs.
Without the size of prop and the max rpm and speed its a guess on the prop and wheather you have the right setup.Tell us about your boat brand/model size,
your typical activities,load and give us the prop sizes usually marked on the prop -- X -- (diameter by pitch)without the first specs I mentioned your motor could be operating outside the recommended rpm range , could result in premature failure of the motor,poor performance and wasted gas at $4+ a gallon.If you read some of the other posts you'll get the idea on props and
setup.

Check for the prop numbers on the props.Do you know what your typical load and activity might be.My guess is they may have had a prop for skiing or heavy loads and another for average operation.Lower pitch would be for skiing/loads etc higher pitch for everyday use.
