Bought a 2014 f150 yamaha and I am going to use it for shrimp trawling.I want to select a propeller with the greatest diameter and a pitch that will allow me to achieve red line ie) until the rev retarder kicks in. How much prop tip clearance is maximum?

Thanx for anyones expertise
 
You can fit a Mercury 16X11 or 13 aluminum in there with no problem. They have a big blade so check your WOT to be sure you get 6000 rpm. You will need to use their hub kit made for Yamaha applications.
