Now that my boat has finally been assembled and the engine started it's time to play with prop's.
Last time out we hit 28/29 knots, 33/34 mph, at 5500 rpm and this makes me want to play a little with pitch, design and maybe even size! But this is not a "what pitch" question, but a "where do I find one" question.
The outboard is a Chrysler 65hp 1978 "slim" lower leg.
The size's I'm looking into are around 10x13/14/15 and would love a stainless steel one.
I don't know of any prop shops where I live, but finding one with different specs and resizing it could also be interesting!
Can any other brand propeller be used? I'm thinking if anybody knows a brand, or more, with the same diameter for the press in part of the hub. That way it would be possible to re hub another brand to Chrysler spec.
Found a link in one of Frank's old threads where to get a new hub!
Maybe some other maker actually make a 13 spline prop that goes right on if you just modify xx? a little. Yamaha? I see they do make prop with 13 splines.
What can be done? ideas welcome.... In which direction should I look?
Is this the worst Chrysler to re prop?
I suppose it's only those old one piece units that used the 13 spline non through hub, right? Because I did find one 10x15 stainless 13 spline, but with exhaust through the hub, I'm confused.
