I have a 13' Rapid craft with a 1978 Evinrude 70 HP. My tach doesn't work and looking for some information on a new prop. I'm thinking 17" pitch? Any thoughts from the experts?

Evinrude model # 70873C. Is it a small or large gearcase?

Can dial whichever prop you like, but testing at wot without a tach on a water trail is not the way to go.

Thinking about a new prop? My question is "Why"? There must be a reason for the question and the only logical answer for you is to fix the tach before you even think about spending money on a prop. It is simply wasteful because of all the variables. You may already have the best prop for your application. You must have a baseline to start with when changing props.
