As a result of owners testing their Montauk 17 with the Yamaha VMax 90 SHO, the recommended propellers include:

13 x 21 Yamaha Painted Stainless Steel
13.25 X 20 Mercury LASER II

Size applies to the specific brand/model only and is not transferable.

The engine should be mounted two-holes-up with the top engine bolts in the third-hole-down from the top of the engine mounting bracket.
