How to buy a Prop?

[BigFishin1]

I just bought a 2001 Tracker Targa/18ft. I wondered how to go about buying a new aluminum prop. Here are the specs on the motor. What else do I need? I assume I should put one back on like what came off or does anyone suggest a better prop than the stock? Thanks.

Re: How to buy a Prop?

There are a lot of variables when it comes to props. The easiest thing to do is if you were happy with the performance of the old prop, simply replace it with the same one. If the old one is original equip the # will be stamped on it somewhere.

You can go here to find the right prop also:

You can also post your question on the "Prop questions and topics forum" on the iboats main menu.

I recently bought an original prop and 1 with slightly less pitch for my Tracker V-16 on Ebay for a good price but haven't gotten to try them out yet.
