    Default Boat motor question for you Arky guys and gals


    I know a lot of you duck hunters run 2 stroke 25HP Yamahas. Got to replace my prop and want to go with a stainless. Any recommendations on brand name, diameter and pitch?

    I ran the snot outta some 25's. Pitch can be tricky. ..size boat/load expected to haul.... speed/power on take off-load. Think avg. Joe all around prop be a 13

    I like a 13. Used a 13 on a 25hp Johnson to propel the 542 Wareagle to breath taking speeds of 28.5 mph. This is fast enough to eject you from the boat if you turn sharp enough.

    I went from a 13 p aluminum solas to a 15p stainless solas on my merc 25. Speed didn't change but hole increased somewhat. Always heard you can jump 2 pitch sizes when going from aluminum to stainless.
