What propeller size should I use with a Pearson Renegade 27 with the A4 engine? It's at a boatyard and I have never handled it under power. It came with a composite propeller installed, and also a 13x11 Michigan two blade brass prop in storage. The composite prop on the shaft is cracked. It has no numbers but it is significantly smaller than the brass one.
I initially planned to replace the broken one with the 13x11, but it seems like it would be too big for the low rpm engine. Any ideas? Can I get away with it? The boat has a 21' waterline and around 7k bare displacement.
