stainless props

[Clafleur]

does anyone have a recommendation on a brand of prop to replace my aluminum prop. I found Solas has a more reasonable price than a factory replacement for tohatsu.

I am no expert, but give people an idea of how many HP your engine is, length of boat, type of boat, how much its typically loaded etc. and then some more knowledgeable folks on here can give you some recommendations.

It's a 1548 alweld w/tohatsu 40. 2 adults and a couple of ice chests so not much of a load

Yamaha black painted stainless 14p

[Clafleur]

The owners manual recommends a 12 or 13 pitch

[Top Dawg]

I ran a 14p yamaha on mine and it runs great. Doesn't have the hole shot of the 13 but the top end is pretty good.

Chris I have a 14p power tech if you wanna go try it out. I've heard alot of good things about the black painted yamaha props too.

[Top Dawg]

I have a powertech and it's not even comparable to the yamaha prop.

Is the boat heavy? I tried a 17 on mine, but boat was completely uncontrolable at 43......kept going airborne and wouldnt turn. Went down to a 14 and its perfect.....add aittle cup for the topend

[Clafleur]

This is what I have now

Sorry, this is the other pict

[Top Dawg]

Is that the black aluminum prop that comes on them? The yamaha prop make sure u get the black painted stainless

[Spunt Drag]

Yamaha Black Stainless Semi-Cleaver. They hold more torque than any other prop with a load.

[Clafleur]

Yes, it is a black aluminum prop. This is prob a dumb question but can i put a yam prop on a tohatsu?

[Top Dawg]

Yes. I have the same motor you have and have run the yamaha prop on mine several times.

Where is best place to get a yamaha prop for the money and what diameter with the 14

[Top Dawg]

I believe the diameter is 10-1/4" lake area marine has them I believe. But they're expensive anywhere u find one.
