On the boat now is a 525 13x11.5 VL 1 1/8 currently thier is a high pich noise just above idle then goes away at speeds above 10mph??? any info on that??

Also, can I run a OJ 13x12.5 .65 1 1/8 as I have that for back up if needed.

The boat dosnt vibrate at all, so I dont think its blade damage.

Thanks

High pitch noise without noticeable vibration, like you said, is probably not prop damage. Check your lubrication levels and your shaft packing.
