I took my prop to Accu-Prop. Found out my 15-1/2x14 is way too big for my engine for what i am using it for. Also one blade is a 13 pitch  and on top of that the previous shop i used for my prop repair put a 8-10 cup on it. The owner of Accu-prop said that 15 1/2 prop is primarily for 250s and maybe the v8 300. I guess when i originally bought the boat 4 years ago they stuck any prop they had on it. |
The cupping is fine... it probably helped you. You will probably find it on your new prop. I'm guessing that the dia should be in the 14 1/2 range with a 15 or 17 pitch and about a 15 deg rake. Can't get my mind around that one blade being a 13 pitch... somone should be fired for that...
