prop size / pitch for 1989 evinrude 120 HP VRO

[angedan]

i would like to know the prop sizes that other owners of these motors have on them. i currently have a 13 1/4 x 17 and my buddy tells me that it is revving too high (6200 RPM) at WOT.

I just came here to find the prop for the exact same motor. Even the same year. Its a great motor! I currently have two props for it that came with the boat. Both are mangled pretty bad. The one i have been currently using is a 14 X 17P The motor is spinning 4200 at WOT. The other is a 13 1/4 X 17P which is too beat up to use. I'm not reving high enough at WOT. I hope this helps some.

seems my problem has been that my tach started at 1100rpms point on the dial and had not reset to 0 rpm. when we put the power back on and then off, the tacho reset to 0. hopefully this means that when we next take out the boat it wont go over 5200 rpms.
