Reading a prop?
I was just wondering if the numbers on a typical prop give you everything
you need in order to replace it? Or, are there actual measurements that need to be taken? For example: a prop with the following code on it: 48 77346 A40 19P My guess is that 19P may be the pitch? But what about the rest? Thanks Chris |

19 is most likely the pitch. A simple tape measure will give you the
diameter for an accurate replacement. --Mike "Chris" wrote in message .. . I was just wondering if the numbers on a typical prop give you everything you need in order to replace it?

My next question is, do any of you guys buy props online? If so, from where? What web address? "Capt.

If you just want a cheap aluminum prop that will give you about 80%
efficiency at best then check michigan wheel. http://www.michiganwheel.com/ You can usually find something at www.ebay.com also. Depending on your boat and how you use it you might consider a performance SS prop if you need more top end speed and/or acceleration out of the hole. Cost more but you get what you pay for. -- Tony my boats and cars at http://t.thomas.home.mchsi.com - "Chris" wrote in message . .. thanks, all great info from everyone.
