captpierre Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I've been asking you guys re a new prop. Dinged one blade and thought I better get a new one and repair the old one for a spare Yammy 115. Lund 17.5 ft. Original prop 13.25 x 17P 3 blade Holeshot was slow fully loaded and WOT 6200 lightly loaded. Jamie at Kawartha Prop in Buckhorn recommended a Solas 12.75 in 17p 4 blade prop Better hole shot. Drops RPM from 4000 rpm to 3500 rpm at 20 mph. Top speed down to 41 from 42 WOT 5800. I am happy. Very helpful at Kawartha Prop. $173. (Canadapropeller.com $149 + $25 delivery) At Kawartha, they said I can exchange to a different one if not happy. great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuck Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) There ya go!!! Getting the boat up on plane efficiently and having a good cruise speed/rpm is more imprtant than your top speed which for intensive purposes is the same. You will burn less fuel getting the boat to plane and will burn less while cruising. Now, get some slime all over her!!!
