Post new prop?
I have a pd with 32hp generac (only mods are a mikuni) on it and I'm not sure if I need a new prop or not. The prop on it measures roughly 12 5/8" from tip to tip and the blade is 4 1/4" at the widest point. I thought I remember seeing somewhere that the generacs came stock with a 13" but I can't seem to find it so if anyone knows for sure please let me know. Anyway with 2 average sized guys, 4 gallons of gas, and two batteries I'm getting about 22 at 3800 rpms in a 1548 with ribbed bottom. Which seemed kinda slow to me, but I bought the boat used so I'm not sure what it ran with a brand new prop. There is also a small chunk missing out of the edge of the prop...how much will this affect performance? I attached a pic of the prop and of the edge with the chunk missing.

That looks like a Hopkins prop on there. May b an earlier PD. The prop on my PD looks much different. Call KP at PD and ask him about it.

It's an 04 so it may be an old pd...not sure if the previous owner ever put a new prop on it.
