Thread: Need some info on aftermarket props please

i have been using PowerTech props. Customer service is outstanding. You call them, tell them your rig and typical load. They will run it through a formula and get the correct pitch and diameter. If they are wrong, exchange is a small fee. Call them.

Sarge, this is what I am running on my 50 Four stroke and love it. These 2 listed says they will work on your motor. I would just do a search for pricing. It has plenty of lift and speed. I weigh 235 and fish a 754 WarEagle VS stick steer. It pulls my bow up good with that weight on it.

Which two?

Sorry about that. Some how link didn't post.

I'm running the 13 and RPM is a little on high side but I like the lift it gives me. 15 might be a little better for speed or RPM for me but would be slower out the hole. On your set up your going to need to do some research on dia and pitch. What size you running now?

I have the factory 9 7/8 x 11 1/4. Grenada is notorious for bad underwater stumps. Hit one right before I left last year during grabbling season and it bent it up.

Stainless is the only way to go. Bent my share of aluminum props. Funny the size they call for on your motor. Double checked and their Alum calls for size you are running then goes up quite a bit on stainless. You might go straight to the Arkansas board and ask those guys. They have a lot of duck hunters who run those motors and may be able to get some info on what those guys prefer and what kind of performance they get. Also might want to try and borrow a couple of props and try before buying.

Gotta get me something, be home before too long! Headed straight to Sardis to camp and pull cranks for several days! Can hardly wait!
