Most here use a 17 pitch, I like a 15 pitch on mine, but thats me.

15 will give you more hole shot, less top end, 17 will give you less hole shot, but better top end, pick your poision!

17 I use to go 42 or so , with the 15 I just can make 40 with a light load and trimed. I guess I lost 3 or 4 MPH on the top.

But you should be going by your tac to figure out whats the best. exsample if your motor is wot at 5000 to 5500 then you need a prop that will get you in that range at wot, then you can adjust for fine tuning after.

a 200 hp will take different then a 140 hp
