Honda prop

[Manxman]

Hi all<br />I'm looking to replace the present prop I have on my 2001 50hp BFA. which is eleven and a quarter diameter and thirteen inch pitch.<br />I can hit top revs easily, so thought I'd go for a fifteen inch pitch.<br /><br />Problem is I can't seem to find and eleven and a quarter diameter over here, except for one of those composite adjustable pitch jobs.<br /><br />Does anyone know of another manufacturers prop of the size I require that will fit a Honda?<br />All suggestions are welcome

Re: Honda prop

Yes I found a prop on iboats but I live in the Isle of Man UK and haven't been able to source one over here.<br />I'll spend an hour or two tonight searching the web again this evening, if I can't find one here I'll have to import one from your side of the pond.<br />Thanks for the response all thumbs.

Manxman, count yourself luckier than us, you don't have to pay the courier vat when you receive your parcel.<br /><br />Last month I imported a navman plotter, the vat at the door was £150.

Re: Honda prop

We supposed to pay the same here, import duty and VAT, but my oppo works for, I'd best say no more.<br />What part of England are you from and where do you fish?

Re: Honda prop

I thought there's no vat at IOM?!<br /><br />I'm from the south coast and fish the Solent and Poole area. I belong to a small fishing club http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/ <br /><br />Bream season starts in a a month or so time. Can't wait.

Re: Honda prop

Perhaps you may want to try and borrow this prop first from a marine store?. I have a 2003 BF 50 with the factory prop 11.25 x 13 and easily hit 6000 rpm with what I thought was more throttle left. GPS showed top speed of 34 mph. I bought a 11" x 15 pitch prop thinking I would get some more speed, however my max rpm dropped to 5400 rpm and top speed of 31 mph. This prop has know become an emergency spare, it cost me $160 Canadian dollars (2.3 Cad = 1 british lb)from a Honda dealer. I think I will try a 11.25 x 13 stainless power tech prop which I can get for about 170 US to help with cavitation. So, cheap prop for sale if you can figure out how to ship it from Vancouver, 20 minutes use - it can become you emergency spare!.
