So I bought a 16.5 foot boat this spring and it has a prop on it that I think is to big. It says 12x22 on it, anyways my rpms are at aprox. 4500 on Jordanelle and only 3500 on the berry, I am thinking i need to get a smaller prop? My moter is a 50 Hp mercury ELPTO, which has a max rpm of 5500 so I think I should be runing around 5250 rpms. Anybody have any info? thanks I mostly fish mid eleveation lakes like the nelle so that is what I would like the best performance to be, I realize i will lose performance at the berry.
