StPeteBonefisher Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Would you suggest going with a 13 x 17? I have never re-propped and I have no clue... ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can tell us how the boat performs with the current prop (max RPM at WOT, trimmed up, etc.), we can better advise you on which prop might work better for you. There are experts near you who know exactly what you need as well. Marcus at Powertech Propellers (Funky Monkey on this forum). Ken at Prop Gods has loaner props to try before you buy. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Doesn't that guy C.A. Richardson from one of those fishing shows out of the West coast runs a 90 e-tec? He get's factory support, which means props so I would find him and ask, I hear he is a very nice guy, don't know for sure though?? Might be a good starting point.

Hope this helps. I'll look at the prop when I get home to determine what's on there now. It's a brand new motor with an aluminum prop and I know I'll be able to get better performance with a SS prop. I'm getting 39mph at 5100 rpm. I want to reprop it and carry around the aluminum one as a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPeteBonefisher Posted January 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 It’s a 13.2 x 19 aluminum prop.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Still don't know if it is 3 blade or 4, 5100 RPM is not bad but there is another 100 to 300 to squeeze out of it. Who installed the engine? Is the height correct? I think a 19 pitch is a little steep, 17 should get you where you want to be. Check with prop shops, they may loan props to you and when you decide to buy you but from them, can't hurt to ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPeteBonefisher Posted January 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Thanks for your help. I’ll look at a 17. Gulf marine of Clearwater installed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the numbers you are getting with the 19 pitch 3-blade, I think a 13 x 17 4-blade Rogue (or Rubex) is going to be too much prop for the Etec 90, to reach its optimum power curve and RPM range. IMO, a better match for your setup would be one of these: 3-blade (for best speed and fuel economy): Michigan Wheel Apollo XHS, 13.25 x 17, model # 993144, with hub kit # 206 4-blade (for best hole-shot and grip): Solas Rubex HR 4, 13.25 x 16, model # 9453-133-16, with hub kit # RBX-106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
