Hi,

First post.
I have a 2001 210 bow rider 5.0 2 bbl carbureted TKS, Alpha 1 Gen 2 drive. I have a stainless steel 3 blade prop with no markings on it now. According to the tach, at WOT it turns 4000 rpm. I'm looking for a propeller that will perform well. Seems like the one I have is not right.
Appreciate any input.
 
Markings are typically stamped into the hub area or between two of the blades. Can't offer any help till we know more info.

-- Bottom condition?
-- Prop condition?
-- Plug, wires, cap/rotor replacement time frame?
-- Exercise the switch on the back of the tach, making sure to end on the 8cyl setting
-- What speed do you get?
-- Trimmed up as far as you can for max speed?
 
Is this a new to you boat? If not, how did it run before? The prop has a mark somewhere.
 
Thanks, I have to take a better look for markings.
I've owned the boat since new. It never got over 4000 rpm. That's why I think it was never propped right. The bottom is in great condition now as I just splashed the boat. Top speed was 40 mph with GPS.
 
They come from Sea Ray with the correct prop already in the boat. It's not something that the dealer installs. Trimming properly? What about the other questions?
