I have a 98 175 5series with a 3.0. I am wondering about prop choices. The drive is 2.0. I believe most had a 1.98...if that helps. Sea ray suggests a 14.25x23 on the closest match I could find using there prop chart.....Any suggestions and experience would be appreciated. I am looking for an all around prop to operate in the prop wot range, maybe an occasional kneeboarding but mostly cruising.
 
Hey Mate,

There is heaps of info on this forum about props and choices. Do a search on props and you will be amaised how many combinations people have tried.
 
14.25 X 21 3 blade either aluminum or stainless should do what you want it to do. I you find you need a little more WOT RPM, then step down to a 14.25 X 19 three blade.
