    Default Prop Finder......


    found this site today.....and put in my info......I may be running the wrong prop. This says I need 13 1/4 x 21. Right now have on 13 1/2 x 15. RPM's with this prop are in range on the top side. I do have the motor pin in the very bottom hole. Have to keep it there to have a decent hole shot. Beagle told me once seemed like I was running pretty deep. Tried moving the pin up and and the boat took forever to get on plane and was a little squirrely. May need to try another prop.Here's my Info.....

    Frosty,

    I have no idea about what prop you need but this is where I got my last prop from and I saved a bunch of money on it! They include the new hub kit in price and I didn't have to pay any sales tax!

    ITG Marine - Powerheads, Replacement Parts, Lower Units, Propellers and More

    I also double checked with OSS before I purchased the new prop.

    Good luck!

    Dan

    A fun site, I'll have to compare it to what I have on my boat now. Can't remember what I have.

    For what it is worth, I tried some of the calculators and I am sure there are plenty of folks that know this stuff, but I wound up working with propgods.com and found them to be very knowledgable and helpful. I explained what I had, the problems I was experiencing and they shipped me a prop that nailed it the first time. Was very satisfied with the service and outcome.
