Can anyone recommend the right size prop for a 4.3L 190hp mercruiser I/O motor? It's going on a 90 V-20.

Right now I have a 21 pitch on it.

Thanks

I wanna say 17. :-/

I hava 19' on my 165 I/O. Still a good hole shot and runs fine at speed.

I noticed you have a 4.3 merc. I have a straght 6. Did you replace the original motor with the 4.3?

I had a 165 stright I/O when I got mine, it had a 15 1/5 by 5 and it ran fine, buty that said I needed a loy of hole shot caused I carryed a lot of weight.

Most boats here wil run a 17 pitch for good over all performance.

I have a 175 OB now and the motor came with a 19 pitch Stainless prod and it does well.
