Best Prop for 2003 Yamaha F200

[MNBIGBEAR]

I just picked up a Alumacraft Tournament Sport 185 with a 200hp Yamaha on it. The current stainless prop on the boat is a little nicked up and I am thinking about replacing it. I am curious if anyone has some advice as to what would be a good all around prop on this combo. The guy I bought it from is shipping me a new 4 blade prop he has but was not sure what pitch it is. Thanks for any advice.

You are not far from Soderblooms. How dinged up is it?

If it's just scratches, talk to Jay after you find how it runs. Then determin what you want out of it. You may already have the right prop once it's fixed up.

If it's bent or missing parts then talk to him right away.

Looks like Yamaha props on boats of similar size and weight are showing 14.5x21.

In a nutshell the prop typically should be sized so at WOT the engine runs within max RPM to max rpm-300 with average to heavy load. For example, if max RPM is 6000, then should be propped to run 5700-6000 at WOT with average to heavy load.

I like a 4-blade prop myself.
