I have a 20 1/2 Wellcraft Eclipse, mercruiser sterndrive, 210 HP 5.7, deep v.
I currently have a mercruiser prop. 14 1/2 diameter, 21 pitch ss, 3 blade. I have a little problem getting it up on step. The boat is fairly heavy, so with 3 or 4 persons in it, I'm pretty sure a 19 pitch would help, but maybe someone has had experience propping a similar boat and load. Its ok once its up, (47 or 48mph indicated at 4600 rpm), just unsure about brands, pitches, blades, etc. appreciate any opinions. thanks
