It looks like I have a pair of 16x14 props on our F-32. Merc 230's with 1.52:1 reduction. Would that be how it was new? What are other F-32's running?
Thanks!

Re: Another prop size
Trojan ,lists 16x15 3 blade w/small cup .for your boat . So someone may have gone down in pitch . As most boats come pitched for a light boat , droping some pitch off can be a very good idea . Unless your turning well over the rated rpm I would not go back to factor spec .

Re: Another prop size
Our 78 with mopar 360's at 250 HP came with 16x16 according to original paperwork......at some point it got changed to 16x barely 14, was way too much rpm for no speed......I had the props tuned balanced and re pitched to 16x15.....much better for us now........
