    What Size Prop

    I have a 89 Johnson 70hp. I need to replace the old prop and was wondering what size prop would be the best? Boat is used for fishing.

    RE: What Size Prop

    depending on what size boat you are running it on I would say somewhere b/w a 17 and 19 pitch. Unless its on a 17' or bigger, I would go with a 19 pitch

    It's 17. Thanks for the input. I'll go with the 19.

    RE: What Size Prop

    that also depends on the kind of prop you plan to buy, if you buy a alum. prop at a 19 pitch it will most likely be closer to a 17 pitch after deformation while running. if you buy a stainless 19, you will get a true 19 pitch and I think that will fit you just about right. If you are gonna buy a alum or steel, you may need to go to a 20
