1998 Monterey 196 Prop Size

[Planenut99 0]

Hello all,

I recently purchased a 196 with a blown engine. After much work, I have a new engine installed.

 

Unfortunately, I need to get a new prop for it and I really don't know what belongs on it. Rather that going through the expense of buying the wrong props trying to find one, I am hoping someone here can tell me what the factory propeller dimensions and pitch are.

 

This is a 1998 Monterey Montura 196 with the Volvo Penta 4.3 liter engine

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated! I am looking forward to getting on the water soon.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Most likely, stock prop was a 14-1/2 x 19p 3 blade aluminum. A 14-1/4 x 21p would also work, depending on your WOT RPM.
