I need a new prop. The aluminum I have is a three blade 11.75" diameter with 17 pitch prop. It has been recommended to do the same size in a composite piranha prop or keep with aluminum or switch to a SS 12.25" diameter 15 pitch Powertech SRG3. My only concern with the SS is how the weight of the prop will affect my motors gears. I have read that adjusting the idle speed with a SS helps with the "Clunk" that is typically heard or use a hub kit. What are your suggestions on the matter? Basically I don't want to tear up my motor by switching to a SS prop but also what the most performance from 50hp.

Any information is appreciated! Thanks in advance
