SS - no flex right? Thanks! Frank Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Would REALLY suck to ruin such an expensive prop!! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Cupped two blade. Try it out tomrrow night. Wish I could tonight, but potential weather, and lateness of dinner make it not a good night.

I'd love to try it Dave. we will be at the Henry Hudson boat launch in Bethlehem tomorrow night (if all goes well) between 5 and 5:30. I'm bringing my 3 blade 21 pitch prop too, at least I know I can get out and have some fun with it, even if I do keep porpoising. Gail is bringing some kind of dinner with us, like sandwiches and chips er sumpin.

The anode should be flat for these props, remove the fin completely. It has NO effect as these props should be run on a motor where the cav plate is above the water, so the anode is not in the water at all at speed. If you can't run the motor high then this is not the prop. It's looks like an older Merc "elephant ear" Good bow lift etc. but the newer three blade lasers or equivalent would be better still. that said it's a great vintage prop form the early 70's.
I too would be interested it's the right pitch. I have a restored 74 Vector with an inline and that prop would be correct vintage and size. That said, good luck, I hope that it works for ya.

nessman Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 49 Karma: 1 Thank you received: 0	I removed the anode because of prop clearance issues... boat doesn't run much more than 20 MPH, always in fresh water, stays up on a hoist when I'm not running. I suppose I could get a flat anode or grind down what I have now... Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
