4 blade props
Submitted by Chongy on Wed, 2011-07-13 13:47
just hunting some info on 4 blade props?
was thinking of putting them on the boat because it planes pretty slow and would help it get out of the hole a little easier
and what pricing i am looking at for 2 115 yammy 4 stroke props?

not for every motor!
As my mechanic said, not for every motor. I was suggested/used a 4 blade Solas Lexor SS prop on my old Suzuki 175hp 4 stroke to get more punch out of the hole and because it was reving a bit higher than normal!
HTH!

Another vote for Micheal up at Just Prop's.
Have a chat with him let him know your revs @ WOT etc, and he will let you know if there are any benefits going 4 blade.

Yes from me to about Micheal,
Yes from me to about Micheal, he knows his beans. Set me up with a flour blade on my Trophy and we never looked back.
Not every boat & motor package will benefit from a four blade or change in pitch etc. Some one like Micheal with years of experience will know what you need.
ps for those that don't know, he also does prope repairs and refurbishing of bushs etc. Best in the West by far.
