    Hello All! I have a Sea Ray 175 (18ft bow rider) with Mercruiser 3.0lx with Alpha one gen 2 drive and a 14.25 x 21p 3 blade aluminum prop.

    Prop - which side??

    Hi, I have a 2006 52' sedan bridge with MAN engines. I removed the props to have them tuned up and forgot to mark which one (L or R) goes on the port side and starboard side. If anyone knows I would appreciate it. Thank you, Ralph

    Looking for a used prop source

    I would like to get a spare set of props for my 2006 52db. The props are 28x35 with 2.5" shafts; 4-blade NI. Used would most likely be the most affordable way. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it - Thank you, Ralph

    Underpropping is good!!

    Underprop your boat for great performance! Modern engines have electronic protection against excess rpm so there is no reason to worry. I was going to a 17" on a 140hp Suzuki DF140 on a 18' hull that was a dog. Not a 2-stroke definitely. Anyway, the box mistakenly contained a 15" so I gave it a...

    Should I buy this propeller? It is listed NEW, but looks corroded. Maybe..

    I am looking at buying this prop listed, "new" and just thought this may be a new, but bad prop. What do you guys and gals think? Should I buy and paint or is the paint hiding corrosion? I am a totally new to boating. Thanks! They are selling for $25 no hub

    Stock Gas prop = 18" Stock Diesel prop = 20" - How big did you go?

    I'm sure this will stir up some controversy........ Have you increased your diameter over the stock props, and if so, how big did you go? anyone have any science on the minimum clearance in the tunnel before xxx starts happening (besides hitting the hull, guys..) I will be researching the great...

    Disappointing Power & Speed

    i just bought a 2006 Sundeck 200 with a 4.3 MPI engine. I put a new prop (14.25 and 17 degrees) on it. It has very little power out of the hole and takes a while to plane. It tops out at 4,100 RPMs and only 28 mph. The engine only has 153 hours on it. It is disappointing. Is there anything I...

    New to this forum I have a prop question.

    I have a 1989 268 Sundancer. I had the 454 engine rebuilt to 450 hp. I am getting 45 mph at 5000 rpm. It has the original out-drive. Is there a different prop I can install to get more towing/speed at a lower rpm? Any advice would be great.

    Cuttler Bearing

    hello help! ;) So my bottom was getting its monthly cleaning and the diver either grabbed the prop or the shaft and wiggled it back and forth. I could feel the thud, thud, thud. He said my “bearing” was shot only on the starboard side. Im believing I should just change them both. I just...

    2004 Sport 185 best cheap 4 blade props?

    I purchased a 2004 185 sport with the 4.3l 190 hp V6 last year and I'm looking to buy a new prop for it. It came with two props, a 19p and a 17p (both 3 blade AL props) but they do not have nearly enough pitch as I can over rev it with the 19p on and I'm only hitting 41 mph. I'm looking to...

    SPX 21 Prop Help

    A couple months into our SPX 21 OB with a 150 and it’s been great. It came with the standard 15 x 17 prop and I found a deal on a Enertia 14.5 x 17 which I threw on there last week. I gained a few mph and maybe a little hole shot but rpms seem low unless it’s trimmed up to almost unstable. I...

    Bravo 3 Prop Direction

    Silly question here, I just replaced my 26p props 3x3 blade props with 24p 4x3 blades. But now I am having major trouble getting on plane and the engine really struggles - I don't even try to go past 2600 rpm as the speed is only 10mph. I'm wondering if the mechanic installed the props...

The tunnel is tough to wedge a block of wood against blade, and im not sure the prop would take the force? I read its not the way to go. But, how else can I get 200lbs of torque by...

    18x21 3 Blade Bronze 1.25 Bore LH/RH

    I took this set off of Sue Sea Q & E II in the fall. They're in okay shape and will make a good spare pair of wheels. I had them on for past two seasons. In the photos I included the Prop Scan (2/29/16) for you to see as well. The LH back side is in interesting shape. I guess an air...
