Hello experienced boaters,
I have had my boat for a month now and out 4 times with it. The prop which came with the boat has a ding in it, (had the ding when I got it.) I need good advice on a new prop and maybe- maybe there is a deal out there for new prop. Or should I get my prop reconditioned by a prop shop. I live in the san francisco bay area is there a prop shop nearby. I have been using the boat for water skiing, and truthfully I am barely able to get up on a single. I weigh in at 165-170 currently. There is this prop advertized on the internet he http://www.piranhapropellers.com/PropDesign.htm Actually it looks like a great invention. Anybody ever used a piranha prop before - think this thing is any good? Here is a picture of my prop with ding: 238924 bytes http://users.rcn.com/neptunium/boat/prop.jpg Here is evidence of cavitation eating away the metal of the prop 241514 bytes http://users.rcn.com/neptunium/boat/prop1.jpg Can an aluminum prop be repaired that has cavitation damage? And still run good? Advice on how to buy a prop? does the nada guides describe the boat with the motor as a combined weight, or the boat with no motor - then add weight of outboard motor. boat is 1975 bayliner mutiny: nada guides says 900 lbs engine is '85 90HP mercury: inline 6 = about 300 lbs Greg |
