need a new prop for my motor, hunting in lowcountry of south carolina mostly run in river along with hydrilla and other thick plant material. what would be the best prop choice for this set up?

Me personally, I'd just stick with a factory replacement. Thats what I've always done on my lt and sd

ok thanks, would a smaller diameter prop increase my rpms and therefore increase my speed and "weed cutting" abilities?

Go Devils website calls for a 9x6. If you have a bigger boat, heavy loads, a 9x5 may run better. With a real light boat and light loads a 9x7 may run better. But a 9x6 would be more of an all around prop.

More rpms doesn't always equal more speed. If the prop doesn't have any "bite"(cup,pitch) you can spin high rpms and not go anywhere. I'd start with a 9x6. If your rpms are high, you can go to a 9x7 and your rpms will drop about 200. If your rpms are low, you can go to a 9x5 and your rpms will increase about 200.

Also, run the motor out of the water and see how many rpms you can get up to and then report back. I think a 23 should be around 4000 out of the water and 37-3800 in the water.

There are some adjustments you can make behind the motor to the throttle nuts and springs, to bring rpms up.

What would happen if you put a 3 blade on a lt

X2 --- get you a 9x6 from GD - best all around - the 9x7 is too much pitch


LOL - no the GD 3 blade won't fit - unless you are really handy with a torch

Ok just curious. My dad said he thought they used to use a 3 blade back in the day so I was just curious
