SS Props

[petercreek]

Give me reasons why I should put a SS prop on my 25 Nissan. And what type.

It will NOT break. IF you can bend it... You really hit something hard.

More durrable, faster on plane time, overall faster speed,

More efficient, better performance and much much more durable. Usually go up 1 pitch size going from aluminum to SS, but ask your prop dealer about this.

big boys down at the local pool hall say a SS prop on a 25 does increase your speed some, but because it does not bend or break it can stress your lower unit...rather replace a pig iron prop ($) than a lower unit...just my 2 cents...

How much faster can a 25 hp go anyways. I wouldnt spend the bucks for a stainless just for speed. Now if youre fishing in alot of timber then you may have a valid reason, but then again hoxiedog brings up another good point.

well, the hubs in any prop is designed to protect your lower unit. Now ask your buds at the pool hall what vibration from a dammaged prop can do to your lower unit. I have saw far more lower units replaced due to premature wear failure than because their prop hit something. A ss prop will stay in spec far longer than an alum

Allways put the stainless on myself 30 years no bent props did twist up final drive shaft once but props have allways taken the abuse and have not lost a gearcase yet knock on wood.
