Honda 9.9 2008 prop choice?

[Lebasque]

I still have the factory honda prop on my motor.
Material: Aluminum
Diameter: 9 - 1/4?
Pitch: 8?
Blades: 4

I dammaged the prop with scratches (don;t like the look).

I was thinking on putting a new prop.
Can I go for a 3 blades? or should it stay with 4 blades?
I use the motor to troll (bay and ocean).
What about the pitch? is 8" good?
Alu or stanlesssteel?

Just curious,
Thank you

Without a lot more info can't be much help.Is this a kicker on a larger boat or on
a small fishing boat? Can't tell you much about the pitch without a max rpm at wot. It is about in the middle of the chart with 3 sizes smaller and 4 bigger.A 4 blade will give you better control especially if on a larger boat.

I'd stay with the same size prop for your use, you won't really gain much with SS.
