I'm not sure on newer Rude's .. But Merc's geared there motors to run props in the 17 to 25 pitch range, with most running in the 19 to 23 pitch range.
Did you get a tach to see your max RPM's ?
Ask your local boat dealer who repair props for them or check around for a prop shop.
They might let you buy one .. then change props until you find one that work best for you.
OR check Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist for used props. Buy and sell the ones that don't work.

If your wood is wet it will rot over time .. nothing well help or stop it.
You shouldn't have standing water in bilge .. tilt boat bow up as far as it will go and use the string trick to get as much out as possible.

Looking for prop recommendations for a GT 150 with a 2013 Evinrude Etec 90hp? Is anyone running a similar motor?

I still have these available. Let me know if anyone would like them. I'll send them for free in a USPS flat rate box. It's the least I can do for all of the help I've gotten on the forum.

Interesting, I'll have to see if I can locate this.

Another question about the bilge area. When the carpet was replaced the mechanic cut a small hole to look at the stringer and repaired. He said the stringer looked pretty good, some moisture (it had just rained uncovered), but things seemed sound. Is it ever advisable to put some antifreeze or anything like that in the bilge area as a precaution for wood rot?
