Have ordered a new plastic prop for my '84 Yamaha 2HP, am waiting on it to arrive. In the meantime I found a guy on eBay selling the same prop, but aluminum. I would like to get it, and keep the plastic one as a "backup". The boat is a 13' Ark Trav Aluminum v-hull boat. Wondering if anyone else has a similar setup and could advise whether switching will have any effects, either good or bad. I figure the aluminum one will be heavier, and I don't want to overheat the motor, etc. Also wondering if it will improve performance. Prop size is 7 1/4 x 4, Yamaha series A.
PS: had to order a new one cuz I sheared a blade off of the original....plastic doesn't cut it in my local lake(rocks/stumps).
