[QUOTE="lugoismad, post: 451842, member: 16518"] I have a 1971 Johnson 50E electric shift motor. Runs great, but the prop that came on it seems to be too much pitch for my boat. It takes forever to get up on plane. I'm talking like 1/4 mile or more. Once it is on plane, you can here the RPMs go up and it acts fine. But it bogs like hell trying to get there. It has a 13.25x17 prop on it now. I called a local marina, and they wanted to know what gear case and how many splines the shaft was. I have no idea how to figure this out. Help? I ran the turning point propeller wizard and it said I should put a 15 pitch prop on it. However, I'm having a hard time finding a 13.25x15 prop. Can I use a 13.75 or 13.5x15? Or will this not work? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
