@ CajunChristian
the Yamaha ss prop you speak of is the OEM Yamaha brand prop I need to buy from any Yamaha dealer or can I get one anywhere? and is it just one style prop or do I have to choose from semi-cleaver, clever, cupped, or not cupped and all that which you have to do for aftermarket props? in other words can I just say give me an OEM Yamaha prop and get the right one or will I have choices to make other then the pitch?
one last point, based on your experience for a regular use (not racing) prop when would a 4 blade be a good choice? I never could understand how to decide when you need a 4 blade or not and the times I see people recommend one they never have a good explanation as to why except to say it works better
and im a very curious guy that likes to know why I make the decisions im told to make
