Default weight of prop vs. the outdrive.

So -- Here I am; for curiosity sake; asking you if the weight of a ss

prop
really does wear out the drive faster than an aluminum one.

fwiw ... I was advised by the dealer to step down in pitch e.g. 23" to
21" when going from aluminum to SS. Never looked into it further, but
a step down would imo reduce stress on the outdrive.



Odd.... because WOT RPM's actually rise a bit going to SS.
