- Merc 5.7L, carborated, 250 HP, Alpha Drive
The 240DA I just bought has the 5.7l Alpha, 260 HP carborated engine with the Alpha l gen. 2 outdrive. It was sold to me with a three blade aluminum prop. The propeller does not look new, but maybe it was painted because there is no paint scuffes off the blades?? I cannot see any markings on it for pitch or diameter. During the sea trial, it was discovered that the tachometer in the boat was not working, so I do not know the RPMs at cruise or WOT. Can someone recommend the correct pitch and diameter and maybe the best make for a SS prop for this family cruiser? I will usually have two adults and three small grandkids on board. Thanks again, JOHN
