9.9hp evinrude kicker on my 19-6' aquasport dual console fishing boat w/ a 130 evinrude. What prop would work the best for the kicker? Will use it for a trolling motor and a get home in case of engine failure.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Tony

I would run with the factory prop. Changing to a different one will not make much difference at all with a boat that size. You should be able to troll down very slow and no matter what prop you get it is not going to go very fast.

If you want to spend a little money, look into a sailboat prop, very good low speed performance and power plus generally reverse much better than a standard prop. Could be useful if you breakdown and have to fight a strong head wind and when manuevering around docks.
