Prop recommendations please.

[frobotz]

Lowe 1652 semi vee hull with 2001 mercury 25hp 2 stroke. My prop is a low pitch prop and its has a spum hub so I am going to replace it with something newer and more suited to my boat. Where is a good place to get a recommendation on prop pitch for my application. Or does anyone here have a good recommendation for prop pitch for my boat? thanks

Is that a rebadged Tohatsu 25 HP, the throttle mechanism is moved by rods ? If so, could bump that 25 to a 30 for peaniuts cost, maximize prop and have excellent boating time. What number is casted on prop body 13 ?

Happy Boating

1) Performance issue you are trying to correct. Prop is a torque prop for a larger boat. Also has spun hub.
2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless as a minimum. Current prop is a factory prop 10 3/8 x 9 1/2
3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required). Current prop is a factory prop 10 3/8 x 9 1/2
4) Wide open throttle RPM and speed with an average load (very helpful) Unsure just installed the motor and ran once.
5) Engine/drive make, model, year, and HP Engine is a mercury 25 2001 model. 2 stroke.
6) Boat make model, year, length and weight 1652 lowe roughneck . I added a center console.

Is your Merc 25 same as pic ? If so, there's plenty info on Converting a 25 to 30 HP, check Tohatsu/Nissan section...
