Re: 1978 Evinrude 115 prop?
I have a 17' procraft fish'n'ski with the same 1978 115 Johnson.
I have 3 props a 17" 19" and a 21"
The 17 I also get 45mph gps.
For the smaller lakes in Indiana I use the 17 gets me up on plane quicker.
When we go down to Green River I put on the 21 to cruise with. It take a little longr to get on plane but it will run 55 mph gps.
EBAY is a good place to pick up props pretty cheap to experiment with if you take your time should be able to pick up some for less than $50.
Re: 1978 Evinrude 115 prop?
****, 10 mph difference with the 21 over the 17? How 'much' longer to get on plane? have you run the 19 much? What did you think of it?
Re: 1978 Evinrude 115 prop?
It's a bear to get on plane got to get all the weight to the front to push the nose down then it'll go. If not it'll just plow and cavitate. I like the 19 but rarely run it on our small lakes.
Re: 1978 Evinrude 115 prop?
What kind of performance do you get with the 19? Does the diameter make any difference? I checked again yesterday, actually I was running almost 55-5600, which is the top end of the engine's rating. (4500-5500) I was thinking of trying a 19. However, if I get an aluminum prop, will it flex more and have less performance than the raker stainless I have?
Re: 1978 Evinrude 115 prop?
the steel will be much better.
Heres a bunch of EBAY props less than $50
noote all props are differant. Even the identical prop can will perform differently. Need to buy, beg, and borrow then try and experiment till you find what you like.

Re: 1978 Evinrude 115 prop?
thanks man. Hey I looked at my prop again last night and it has a stamp on it, CH and then 202T. It is an OMC stainless, but I am starting to think it is a 19 though it does not have any size stamped on it.
Re: 1978 Evinrude 115 prop?
Would you be interested in selling the 19 pitch of trading it for another 21 pitch stainless prop.
