    Miss marked prop?

    I'm not sure what you mean by flat against the transom. the transom has an angle and with my jack plate I have about 11" of set back at the prop. It does run at a 90 deg to the water surface when trimmed and planning however. As for buying the cheap prop, It was more about time frame than...

    Miss marked prop?

    Got out for a ride this afternoon. New prop was pushing 15 Mph @ 5900 Rpm. Just myself in the boat. Can definitely tell the difference out of the hole. Pushing it to its limits for sure, as I would see 6000 RPMs once in a while. But I do think it will preform well with another passenger. And...

    Miss marked prop?

    Update: Newest prop came in yesterday. Looking at the 2 7" pitch props side by side you can see the difference pretty clearly. I went ahead and measured the pitch using the method above for all 3 props again last night just to make sure I am not missing anything. OEM 8.9X8.5 Measured 8.45"...

    Those are the photos that they sent me to prove me wrong. They include the markings. So I still had my suspicions of a carb issue. I pulled soaked and cleaned it. Drained and cleaned my tank and grabbed a couple gallons of fresh No E on my way to the lake. it’s started and idled great as...

    Miss marked prop?

    Thanks. I have actually found an option from Solas Amita at an 8.5"X7. Based on math with the .4 drop in diameter and the 1.5" drop in pitch I should see a potential increase of 400-500 RPM's which would bring me up to the 530-5400 range. Does it seem like I'm on the right track here?

    Miss marked prop?

    I cant thank you guys enough for the input, That's a great video. I followed the instructions and it is simple. Sure enough I checked the OEM prop first and came up with 8.42" checked the new prop and what do you know 9.61". This explains a lot. I started the return process though amazon but I...

    Miss marked prop?

    I pulled the props and set them side by side. The diameter is the same and bub size is almost the same the new one is a millimeter larger in diameter sand slightly longer. I'm not sure exactly where I should be measuring from but the few places I did show a pretty big difference with the new...

    Miss marked prop?

    So I got out yesterday for some test runs. I did note that the water level is running about 1/2 below the upper plate just like the above photo shows Ran with the OEM prop Averaged 11.5 Mph at 4600 RPM. New Prop 10.0 Mph at 4400 Rpm. I will say that it seems to accelerate a little faster with...

    Miss marked prop?

    Thanks for the reply. It is a 3 blade but NO it is not OEM. Its an Off brand from Amazon. I was having trouble finding one in the pitch range I wanted and wasn't more than a month out. As for the height of the motor I'm going to have to take a real good look or video next time I'm out. I...

    Miss marked prop?

    Hi everyone, I’m kind of at a loss with this one. I’m running a 2006 9.8 Tohatsu 4 stroke. It’s on the back of my 1986 Meyers Vhull. It’s been moded into a mini bass boat. Cedar frame, 1/2” ply decking, carpet, batteries, ect adds around 200 pounds to the boat so its heavy and I don’t expect...
