1991 4.3 alpha one mercruiser stern drive, 19' spectrum alum v hull. I have a 23 Pitch hi-5 prop(came with the boat). run 4400rpm at 38mph. Is this the right prop? At idle speed in gear it does this weird back and forth directional change- let go of wheel and it turns to port for 20 feet, then corrects and goes to strbd for 20 feet,over and over in a S pattern. I have to keep correcting the track with the steering wheel. Drives me crazy. Any prop suggestions or help for the S pattern thing?

Sounds like you have a perfect built in trolling pattern :tongue:

Might want to call Eric at Ampro...they specialize in props...he will give you some guidance over the phone that may help...

I don't think that I can post his contact info, so if you want it, PM me...
