G WHIT 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 The factory prop was not with the boat when I bought it and the old owner installed a S/S 19 pitch 3 blade prop. The factory prop was a four blade and I was not sure witch one would be best for pulling a 150 lbs wake board skier and top end speed. What was the pitch on the factory prop and will a 4 blade be better then a 3? Thanks Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black 190 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2011 Hi Greg, I just bought our first boat. A 2002 190 LS. Mine has the 5.0GL Volvo engine and the prop on it is an aluminum 22 pitch 3 blade. Top end WOT is running 52 on the speedometer, I haven't checked against the GPS yet. That is putting my RPMS right at 4,500 for the short time I had it there. If you find out what was on it from the factory let me know I haven't been able to find that anywhere yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
