PROP MANUFACTURES

[missed_shot]

I was told by a mercury dealer that Mercury made the best aluminium props. Other companies like Michegan Wheel have more porous castings and aren't as good. What you you experts say about that???? Michegan Wheel is cheaper .

At one time michigan wheel made props for several manufacurers, so I think they are probably on par with Merc.

Are they suggesting a prop might wear out?In 20 years of boating I've never had one last more than 2 seasons before I had to repair or replace.<br /><br /> Jim

Cuzner, I think you might be dragging on the rocks. A prop should last longer than that, even an alumn.
