I just purchaced an i/o last year and am in need of a couple of new props. Where can I get the most reasonably priced. I live in Southwestern Ontario, Canada.
Prop size is: 15" and I want 13, 15, 17 pitchs for different fishing speeds. Thanks.

You want to select the proper pitch so your engine will reach it's recommended WOT RPM without going over, just don't select a bunch of different pitches to speed up or slow down the boat. 13 pitch is extremely low for an I/O, even a 15 is low unless heavily loaded or at high altitude.

What size is your boat, weight, engine, Mercruiser, OMC, Volvo, engine serial number? The engine should have some markings on it, or a tag. If you can't find anything, post up some pics and someone will be able to identify what you have.
