PROP QUESTION

[DUANE SCHULTZ]

I am picking up my new, to me, 1997 Nitro 700 LX bass boat. It has a 90 HP Mercury Tracker Force engine. What prop do I need?

Thank you for your help.

It was equipped from the Factory with a 23" aluminum prop. If you are going to run heavier loads {2 people, full fish gear, livewells, etc.}, install a 21".

Thank you Bob. What pitch do you recommend ?

 

[Bob Bourget2]

The above props mentioned were described in PITCH......

I am sorry, I have never bought a prop before. Do you know the diameter?

Thank you for your help.

i would go with a 19 pitch like i had on my pro-18, but it was a stainless steel prop. worked great.

I have a 99 700lx with a 99 mariner 90hp, I'm running a 13 1/4, 21pitch Michigan Steele rapture prop part number 033086, and I'm getting 48mph on gps. There is one on eBay right now link below, don't think you can find a better deal for that prop.



Congrats on the boat!

Guys, please remember he has a FORCE, not a merc. Totally different engines.
