I'm looking at buying a stainless steel prop for my 3.0 L merc.<br /><br />A few questions....is it worth it for such a small motor. Will I notice a savings in gas and increased performance (it's pushing a 19' bayliner).<br /><br />Also, how can I determine its pitch. I'm currently using a 21 P prop, and know how to read it off the side of the aluminum. But the stainless only has the following printed on the side<br /><br />"RAKER"<br />"0P00401"<br />and what appears to be "0 228661"<br /><br />Finally, it needs to be cleaned/polished up. What is the best way to go about doing this?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your advice.<br /><br />Merc
