Propeller recommendation for 1998 Evinrude Ocean Pro 175hp on 22 Revenge
It's time for a new propeller, and I'd love to hear any recommendations anyone may have. The boat is a 1980 V-22 Revenge, and the motor is a 1998 Evinrude Ocean Pro 175.
For several years I've run a Solas 15.25 x 15 aluminum prop. This wheel on my boat gives me 5000 RPM at WOT with a top speed of 36 miles per hour with my typical load.
This performance is fine, as I'm not out to win races -- just want to keep on cruising.
But my aluminum blades got chewed up a bit today when I touched a mostly muddy river bottom a couple of times.
