prop size

Even with the smaller dia I'll bet that a 19 pitch prop is simply not going to be a good prop for your engine. Way too much pitch. I'm thinking more in the 15 - 17 pitch range. And my bet would be on the 15P. Aluminum would be a 17... SS would be a 15.

13.5X15 stainless will be about as big a prop as you want to run. That lower unit has a 2:1 gear ratio, and the 120 is a high RPM engine. A 19 pitch stainless will lug it down and possibly cause a powerhead failure. I would be surprised if it will get on plane with a heavy hull like a V-20 if it is indeed a 19 pitch prop. I know I ran a 19 pitch VIPER on my 140 on a 19 foot bowrider and topped out 56 MPH at 5600 after it was recupped. A 17 pitch stainless prop topped out at 49MPH on teh same boat at 6100RPM's(which was my rev limiter). A 15 pitch stainless is what I ran on the same engine on a 19 foot ANGLER center console and it ran pretty good.

the prop is a used prop my mechanic gave me because the old prop blew the bushing. i bought the motor from him and he gave me a 90 day warranty. the prop was written on with a paint marker 13x19R so i assumed its 13" x 19* right rotation prop i am not sure what size prop was on it before. i took it out once since i got the motor and when i slowed the boat down then went to speed back up it seemed as if it was not in gear but it was going slow but motor was wide open so i told the mechanic and he suggested to change prop
