Looking for a prop for a buddy of mine. 1990 Malibu ski boat. 19' , 350 mercruiser inboard. 275 hp.
Original prop was a 13x13 lc 1, from the interwebs.
Is this a 3 or 4 blade originally?
The one thats on it now is a 4 blade of unknown pitch / diameter.
He no longer pulls skiers with it, just uses it for cruising the river at Laughlin / Bullhead.
He said the prop that's on it is more for top end (speed), and wants to keep it that way. Blistering, water on fire, 43 mph. With a full cooler of boat sodas.
School me on what it needs, or works well. (Uhumm Glenn...GT Jets...)
Also, the rudder is, well, not exactly straight. Can that be straightened? (Leans to the left, circle boat?)
Thanks
Dan'l
