If you put it in gear, remove the spark plug wire. It's possible to start the engine by turning the prop. Stuffing a chunk of wood or even your wheel chock if it will fit in there works great.

I thought that if you had a 13 inch 3 bladed prop, and went to a 4 bladed prop, you were supposed to go DOWN in pitch to acomodate the greater amount of work the engine has to do. Bottom line, can you get it into the proper rev range with that pitch on the 4 bladed prop?

This is correct. Went from a 19p 3blade to a 17p 4blade on my I/O and maintained my engines proper WOT range. Lost a little bit of top end, but gained enormously in the bottom to mid range oomph for watersports.

Kitty is trying to tell you to wedge the propeller with a pice of wood to loosen the hub shaft nut and not to have it in gear to do that..... 😾 Meow!

13 inch prop is 13 inch in diameter. 13 inch pitch is how far forward the prop moves in one revolution.

You could have went all the way up to a 10.1x15 prop. I had a 10.5 x 13 and went up all the way to a 10.1 x 15 and holy cow I got a major hole shot and top end speed im running 30 to 31 mph on my boat and I only have a 40 mercury. My rpms are holding at 5400 to 5500 with the bigger prop

It did help with the blow out . Didn’t completely eliminate it but helped a lot , I think the only way to completely get rid of it would be to install a jack plate and whale tale . But at the end of the day she is a budget boat ya know ! Happy trails my friend and be safe !
