"I just bought a 2002 Mercury
"I just bought a 2002 Mercury 125hp 2 cycle motor for my 1986 Bayliner 19' cuddy
My old motor, a Force 125 ran well with a 13"x17p prop on the boat
The new motor does not come with a prop and the selector I used suggests a 13x21 or 13x23p prop for my usage (fish/ski)
Does this sound right?
Should I be looking for a 21p or 23p prop rather than a 17p prop?
The boat ran well with the old 17p when using the old Force motor
Just wondering if the new motor change would make that much difference in prop selection
Thanks"
