Location: Dane Country | I have an 1987 Muskie Rampage. It has a 75hp Mariner, what would be the best prop for this boat. I think someone changed the prop. Looks like a shiny alum. one on there now. Thanx for the help. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | If I remember correctly, a 17 pitch was what used to be rigged on that boat. What pitch is the prop on there now? How does it run? |

Location: Dane Country | Not sure. How do you measure pitch. From a dead stop if I hit it, can stand the front of the boat straight up. Never had a boat do this before. I know when I add the three batteries and the 101 trolling motor it will add some weight to the bow. I'm a poor working man so I have been working on this in stages. Thanks Steve for all your help with this project. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I'd load the boat up first before messing with it. Otherwise, you'll end up doing it again when you finish rigging the boat. The prop should have numbers on the inside ring, if not, take it off and look on the back side. |

Location: Dane Country | Steve,
found a number 19 stamped on the prop. I believe that is the pitch correct? |
