Post 9x7 prop on 16hp lt?
Im looking at buying a new prop for my 16 hp gdlt. Ive been on the website and see that gd recommends a 9x3. However, it seems that most people at our camp go with the 9x7 for this size motor. I like the fact that if I put a 23 on this frame I wouldn't have to buy another prop. Is there any forseeable problems that I would run across with the 16 and the larger prop? What size would you guys suggest?

16 doesn't have enough ass to turn that prop. they don't recommend specific prop sizes just for shits and giggles.how heavy is your boat? I've run a couple different pitch props on mine and might be able to point you in the right direction

No speed and no RPM most likely... One step in pitch doesn't sound like much but it makes a huge difference!

I'd get the right prop for it unless you are running it on an inflatable canoe or something stupid light
