I presently run a 13x14 prop on my 75 Nautique. What will be the difference using a 13x13?

your RPMs will go up between 200-500 more.

I had a '74 Ski Nautique once and it had a 13x14 prop on it when I bought it. I wanted it to come out of the hole better and I put a 13x13 on it and liked it much better. Never ran the 13x14 again. Just kept it as a spare. I'm not sure how many RPM's it picked up but it did run higher RPM's than the 13x14.

Thanks guys, will it lower your top speed and increase your fuel consumption?

you shouldn't see much difference. Might be a little slower and use a little more gas depending on how much your in it but orginally it came with a 13x13 prop. And the speed be about the same and you might even see better fuel consumption since it's not loaded as hard because of the increased pitch that it now has.
