Re: Force operating rpm range
I purchased the Hustler prop from Boaters world. It is an Aluminum Prop, that is interchangeable. It is a two piece kit, Hub assembly and Prop that then slides onto the hub, this way you can change props easily. It was about $110 total. The hub is about $50 and the prop is about $59. But it was worth it. The Prop number you should need is HU1317AO, Make sure it has the O, there is an M for mercury, but that won't fit because Turning Point (Manufacturer) said that my 88 Force 125 had an OMC lower unit, so this is why you must use this prop. The Hub Kit number is Kit 1A.<br /><br />You can check out their website to read about the props at
http://www.turningpointpropellers.com/ <br /><br />For the money, they work very good. I had a Michigan Wheel prop on my boat before, and it would allow the boat to over spin the prop in turns, it now sticks tight in the water and I don't have to trim down around some sharp turns I had problems in before.<br /><br />This engine seems to be running awesome now. I have a 19.5 bayliner with this engine on it. I am able to get up to about 40 or just a hair over with 3/4 tank of gas and me and another guy on the boat and all my tools so probably about 450 lbs in us two, hes 240, then my tools are about 75. I am running about 4800 RPMS now.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />Bryan Cox
