Hi Folks!
I recently purchased a 2007 185 Sport lightly used and in good shape. First day out I dinged up the prop a little in unfamiliar waters and am looking to replace and get the original reconditioned for a spare. It's not real bad and still runs ok but seems to be a little low end vibration that wasn't there initially.
Question: What is the stock prop for the 2007 185 Sport??? The prop currently on the boat is a Solas and the markings seem to indicate 14.2 x 23 ... this seems an odd size based on a little research (seems a 14 x 19 is more common).
The original owner had the prop replaced after a similar incident so this is not the OEM prop and not sure it is appropriate. What size would the OEM have been??? Should I go back to OEM size or make some changes??? It is very light so assume it is aluminum.
We're looking for good overall performance between 4-6 people (~800lbs) on the boat tubing/knee boarding/wake boarding and cruising. We spend time here in VA on Lake Chesdin, the James River, and Smith Mountain Lake.
Feedback and suggestions appreciated!
