I got my spare prop today. It is one of those carbon fiber deals with
the replaceable blades. It seems to be a reasonable thing for a spare
but I notice it does not perform like the SS. I am running a 14x11 and
with the 11 blades, this thing hits the rev limiter before it gets to
top speed so it must be flattening out under load. I have a set of 13"
blades and if I ever have to put it on again I will try them.
I am dropping my prop off tomorrow.
The local Yamaha dealer will get it to Burris or I can take it myself.
I am just not sure how much of a carrying charge it is.
I am not sure I would drive to Cape Coral twice for $50 tho
The tuneup itself is $115,. I do think this one is smoother so I can
use the tune up although I can't really see anything seriously wrong
with it.
That is not really bad for a prop that has been about 4000 hours over
13 years and hit as much as this one has.
