So my new Honda 90 is on my boat!
But it’s still in the shop.
What’s the consensus as to the best prop?
As a reminder, it’s a CD22.

I use a 3 blade 13.5 x 15 aluminum prop on my BF90D.

Thanks, is that normally stated as PxD or DxP?

This aluminum $120 prop (Turning Point Hustler 4 Blade 13.5x 15) delivers 24Kts /6200 RPM at WOT on our 22 Cruiser/BF90 lightly loaded. And 15Kts/ 4.500 RPM 4 blade props have better reverse thrust, more lift/better hole shot than 3 blade screws, generally a 3 blade will have a bit more top end speed.

We have run the 13.5 x 15 on all of our 22'2 at sea level. We have gone as low as 13.75 x 11 at Lake Powell (about 3700 feet when full). with a loaded boat. We will see very close to 30 mph with a light boat--and as low as 18 mph with a heavy loaded boat. We do recommend that all boats have both trim tabs and Permatrim foil installed to get the best handling, especially going int chop.

Bob, would you say the 13.5 x 15 prop is good option for the same Honda 90's in a twin configuration on a TC that is typically run without a heavy load?

On our TC24 with Suzuki 90's we run that prop in a 4 blade stainless, 13.5X15

You might want to check about the gearing of the Suzuki 90's vs the Honda 90's. We had Suzuki 150's with 4 blade 21" pitch on the TC 255--but that is a lot of different parameters.

Suzuki appears to be 2.59/1, Honda is 2.33/1--that may make an inch difference in pitch...
