Is one SS prop the same as another? Power tech prices seem pretty good.
Any brand preference? This will be going on a 21 ft. sterndrive. TIA Rich |

A few years ago I and some others around here tried PowerTech's offshore
style props. Both of mine spun their hubs on the first offshore trip. They other party's props spun while testing them in a lake.(unfortunately mine spun way offshore). So I would be leery of them in high horse power situations. What made things worse is that they bent me over pretty good on the return and were not even the least bit apologetic. Left a bad taste. On the other hand, prop people tell me the blade design is good and in outboards where you can run a high drive height ( a bit difficult for you) the large blade hooks up good. However, spun hubs sort of put that in the theoretical category for me. Finally, no all ss props are not the same. I am using Turbo brand props they hold up well and make some props ideal for sterndrives. you may want to price them for your boat. -- Ron White Boat building web address is www.concentric.net/~knotreel |

Not all the same. Check ebay and find a good used Turbo or Merc (assuming
you have a merc outdrive). Stay away from Michigan Wheel - poor design. Tony "Rich" wrote in message ... Is one SS prop the same as another? Power tech prices seem pretty good. Any brand preference? This will be going on a 21 ft. sterndrive. TIA Rich |

Prop will come w/ a hub in it chances are. If it is one of the new Merc
design then your current one will work. Tony "Rich" wrote in message ... Will I need a new hub kit or is the one on my Alum. prop interchangeable?
