Hey guys.

I am looking for some help on choosing a new propeller for my Tuff 16.

The boat has a 60hp Mercury 4 stroke and came with a 13 spline 10” 17 pitch aluminum prop.

With this set up I can run 50mph at ~6000rpm.

The label on the drive shows 12x22.

I am wondering if I should try a 12x22 prop.

Should I try Aluminum, stainless steel, blade or cleaver?

Please share your ideas.

Thanks for the help!

Going up 2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in pitch, you will struggle to turn that propeller if you are doing 6k on a 10x17. I would try going up to a 19 or 21 first before increasing diameter

Thanks.

That sounds like a good idea. Maybe i will look for a used 10x19 or 10x21 and see how that works.

If you want to know what works best - call Mark or Thomas @ Tuff.

They are great to speak with...

Where are you located? I have some props in that size range I use on my Thundercat.
