Trying to prop a 19' Low Pro with a Suzuki 175. The Gear ratio on the 175 is 2.50. Has anyone experienced a set up like or near this? What would be the best diameter, pitch and blade for this application. I have my hands on a Suzuki 3 blade 16 x 23 pitch, and a Turbo 4 blade 14.25 x 26 pitch. Please help. Thanks, Al

If you already have the 16" x 23" Suzuki 3 blade, try that out and get some speed data. It should be pretty close to perfect.

The 14-1/4" x 26" Turbo four blade is not going to work. Too much pitch.
