Default 2003 Mercury 200 Saltwater series

I have a 22 foot pro line walk around any idea as to what pitch prop I should use and at what rpm should it run

Tough one. I would guess 5500 RPM with a 21 inch 3 blade.

That certainly would be a guess unless you happen to own one!
Its a strong 200 but your not likely to spin a 21 pitch prop. I had that engine mounted to a pretty light (2900lb.) and efficient 23' Concept and spun a 21 pitch prop running 55mph. Your walk around certainly weighs more. Maybe try a 19 Mirage Plus or a 17 Rev4. Maybe even smaller. Test if you can before buying.

I have a 200 carb Mercury on an older 21 Robalo. I run a 14.5 dia by 19 pitch and top out @ 5400 rpm

Just ask Ken at propgods.com

He is the man when it comes to props.

6500 rpm's will blow the powerhead.Max rpm's should be at 5600.You are running at 17 pitch,by how wide of a prop you have?

17 rev 4 or 19 mirage used.
A 19 enertia would be perfect.
