Re: Extra Prop for Volvo Penta 3.0
What you are saying is to stick with an aluminum one and also not to change hub kit?
The size si the same as what I currently have. Does the make of the prop matter so much?
I don't mean to confuse you. Nearly each prop manufacturer has their little nuance that can make a huge difference with performance. It's no big deal to change manufacturers or even design style within the same manufacturer. You just have to be prepared for the change.
As you originally stated you want a spare prop, there would be no need to purchase anything than what is proven to work with your setup (hull, gearbox, engine and HP).
You are doing the right thing by asking your questions... a lot of people purchase without a clue and then they're not satisfied. they THEN search out this forum and discuss how bad it went, and they're given the data as to why it was a wrong move.
If it's not broke, don't fix (or change) it. If you want to make a change for a specific improvement, you'll want to post information from the link I gave.
I'm not an expert or a prop guru... I'm just sharing what I've learned. It's what we do on iBoats
The great news will be, "when you make this change, you will share your experience and what you learned so the next person will make an intelligent decision on something they might modify."
