We have a 90hp Evinrude on our 20' pontoon. The origina prop was a 14x13 which is bent, How good would a 14x11 prop work, what would the difference be?
Thanks,

if you remember what rpm you were running at top cruising speed a prop shop can tell you what the different pitches and sizes will do for you.

You can use it to get you around with, but you have to watch your rpm becouse the flatter prop will let the motor over turn in rpm. Your motor should not turn over 5500 rpm wide open pushing the boat. Hope this helps.
