CVX 16 prop
« on: September 09, 2018, 03:21:26 PM »
Hi this is my first post here. I am currently redoing a CVX 16 hope to have it ready for next summer. I have a 90 hp mercury tower of power that l rebuilt and use on it.Currentlyusing it on a 15ft bow rider I redid last year. The marina I deal with is closing and I can get a good deal on some used stainless props or a new 4 blade aluminum , I currently have 3 aluminum props ,  13 1/4 x 19. , 13 x 19 and 13 x 17 I can use on it next year . Any ideas on some other sizes. I might want to try ?

Welcome to the forum Hodgify !

Is your Merc an older power head rated motor ?
There geared to run props in the 17 to 22 pitch range.
It's almost impossible to say what will work best until you mount and run motor on CVX, then check RPM's / speeds.

Guessing .. any thing in 19 to 22 pitch range Stainless Steel ... props can be sold on CL and eBay if they don't work for you.
Laser II's / Lightspeed's / Ballistic's are good props.
How much are you talking, price wise for SS prop ?

With the tilt and trim built into the transom mount, not the add on ones that hang off the sides of motor ?
Electronic ignition and original lower unit, or same gear ratio as original ?
What's serial number ?

What brand of boat are you using motor on now ?
What prop and rpm's are you getting now ?
