I've got a 1976 Pacemaker with T318's the props are 10 x 14. Anyone know if this is appropriate for this boat.<br />Regards

Re: Props

Pacemaker made a lot of different boats. The best indication though would be to tell us what your RPM's are at different speeds (under normal conditions) such as at: <br />- cruising speed<br />- top end speed

Re: Props

The props control your WOT (Wide Open Throttle) rpm. Check your engine manual, and it should give you a WOT rpm <br />It's designed to use the most power without overloading your engine, too low a WOT rpm will overload the engine and increase wear. To high an rpm will damage the engine.
