Hi,
I have a 19' CC that has a mariner 115HP outboard. A mechanic got it running good but i notice now that the top rpms are only at 4700 rpms. Before I was getting it up to 5200 but it was running horrible. He must have changed the timing but whatever he did it is running great.
I need to change the prop, currently it is a composite 13X19 that he said is no good and they do not recommend them. I plan to check the timing when the weather warms up but either way I need to address the prop.
Should I get the same pitch? Or should I change it?
What about brands, is there good ones or ones to stay away from? I saw a few reasonably priced quicksilvers but don't know if that is the way to go.
Any help would be great. I want to address these issues before the nice weather arrives.
