Re: Merc 1 vs Alpha 1 props.

This is a c&p of My response to the Same Question Boomyal posted over at the I/O forum......

Are there any Merc I/O props that are not interchangeable, pitch and diameter not withstanding?

The Propshaft, Splines, Diameter,+ Length are the Same for the Large Gearcase Merc. Outboards, The Alpha series from Begining to End,+ the Bravo 1s........

Besides Blade Design,+ Pitch, Etc...... They'll All Interchange..........
And,....
A prop for a 4" Gearcase Outboard can "Get you Home",....
But the Gap around the gearcase causes it to Blow-out at much more than Idle.......

The 1s that Won't interchange would be the Bravo IIs,+ IIIs, the TRSs,+ TRs, and the Little outboards......
Probably the Fancy Merc. Racing Products Too,.... Black Hawks, etc.....
