How do you determine the best prop size for a motor? I just bought a 23hp mudbuddy for my 14ft boat. It has a new prop on it but I want to buy one or two as extras to keep in the boat. What do you typically look for when selecting a new prop? Also prop suggestions are appreciated as well

The 23 comes with a 11x10. My old 23 mbsd came with a big blade and ran great.

Call mb and get one from them.

Appreciate that. Thanks

Do you have a longtail or a surface drive? You posted in the longtail forum, the above wheel won't work if you have a longtail.

I was wondering about that Cus the numbers I see thrown around are usually 9x7, 9x6, etc so that sounded outrageous but since I just bought the motor but haven't seen it yet (my dad went and saw it and picked it up since I'm deployed for a few more days) I figured maybe mine was different.

Also for a used motor, I want to go through and clean it up, etc because I don't know how well the last owner kept up with it.

Do y'all have any good resources for videos, articles, etc about how to maintain an engine like that? I know a little about outboards but really nothing about small motors like this. You can take all the engineering courses you want, but you only learn theory. I understand how the motors work, but can barely find the carb, etc.

And good beginner info on how to clean, prep, maintain, and use it would be awesome.

mud buddy has alot of stuff posted on youtube about care and maintenence, changing props etc..... google it, they are pretty good about trying to provide that kind of info
