Propeller Recomendations - 2006 Yamaha F40 on 15' Maverick HPX-V

[fishing212]

I recently had some damage to my prop after a trip to Chokoloskee, FL.  Does anyone have a prop size and pitch recomendations for my 2006 Yamaha F40 on a 15' Maverick HPX-V.  I currently have a 11 3/8 inch prop with 12 degrees of pitch.  any recomendations wouold be greatly appreciateed!! :-)

I'm running a 2010 Yamaha F40 on my 15' HPXV. The prop is a PowerTech 10.25 diameter/11 Pitch (REB3R11P-YS50). It will turn 6000 RPM with a light load, around 5500 RPM fully loaded. The hole-shot is adequate but nothing to write home about. Top end is 30 MPH. Cruise is 25MPH. Boat gets 8 miles per gallon at cruise.

1. I am running the OEM F 40 Yamaha 2006 prop.  I get the same results as hawg  30 MPH and cruise at 25 mph. I think that is what this motor has the capability to perform. I checked the prop for numbers,but can't find them n the blade.  I run mostly by myself.

Thanks for the update.  I'm going with the 11 or 12 pitch prop so I have better control while cornering.  I think that is the "all around" best option for the F40.

I couldn't find the exact size I wanted so went with the 11 1/8 X 13.  I'm going to purchase another prop with less pitch for better hole shot.  It's always good to have a backup incase I hit a tree again!!
