Re: Propulse Props

I've never seen favorable numbers on any composite prop when compared by an independent party to alum and stainless props

Re: Propulse Props

We ran one on a 21' fiberform walk around with a Mercruiser 260 (5.7l). Worked good, nice when you don't have a prop to start with as you can play with the pitch, cheaper than buying multiple props. Also, towing one day, fast here to there the next, just adjust the pitch. ..... BUT...... what we found is that when you so much has touch any thing like a stick, hard bull kelp, etc we broke blades - not just one, but usually 2 or three. We went through about 7 replacement blades in 4 seasons, then we broke the hub. Fun to play with, but have a spare "get home prop" you can change in the water if you have to.
