I have a 2009 130 ETEC on my 17.4' by 7' beam trihull. Total weight engine, fuel, persons, gear is about 1700 lbs.
I am using the prop from the original 1975 115 HP Johnnie, 13" x 17"p, 3 blade stainless. That engine WOT was about 5200 rpm and 38 mph.
This prop on the ETEC pushes 45 mph at 5800 rpm.
Used the propeller wizard on this site and it is recommending a 13.25 dia with either 23 or 21 inch pitch.
This seems like a drastic change.
Most of my cruising is between 30 and 35, but do enjoy occasional speed blasts.
Do you have a size pitch recommendation?
Thanks, Mike
