I have 1992 OMC 3.0 liter with a Cobra outdrive and I can not remember what drive it is (spline, etc..). I am asking this because I am going to buy a new prop this year and need to know which one I have?<br /><br />Ok one more question I am thinking of buying a Hustler Aluminum prop, has any of you guys tried there props , what do you think of them? Currently I have a aluminum 15x17 and I turn way to many rpms, I was thinking about going to a 21pitch, any suggestions?

You should just be able to but a prop for a '92 Cobra and be ok.<br /><br />As for the Hustler, I run one and love it. They are a bit more aggressive than a standard prop. For example, I ran a 21 pitch michigan wheel and picked up a 19 pitch hustler for skiing. My RPM's changed very little (still turning within 100 rpm of the 21 pitch), but the hustler has higher top speed, better handling, and much better hole shot. If you don't get the desired result with the housing you choose, you only have to spend $60 for another. I will be picking up a 21 pitch housing this year to see if I can turn it. What I'm saying in a nitshell is expect a 400-500 rpm drop for every 2" of pitch. If you need to lose 1000 rpm, try a 19 pitch hustler. This is just my experience with them.
