Propulse Propellors

[spic]

Was wondering if any Fishraiders have any comments good/bad on these propellors. Currently have a Savage Osprey running a Honda 90 and needs a new prop reving too high and could do with more top end speed. Was looking at the Solaris 4 blade props and then noticed the propulse props but have not heard much about them and haven't seen any boats with one?

Many Thanks,

Hey Spic,

I have been running a propulse 4 blade on my Mercury 60 since I damaged my standard 3 blade ( thanks to the asshole who dumped a concrete block in the middle of river just of the boat ramp ) I purchased it as a spare for just such an occassion and thats all I would use it for. I found it extremely good for playing around with the pitch (adjustable from 12-16 degrees 14degrees centre) and finding out exactly what pitch is required to suit your own requirements. I can't fault the prop cause it runs sweet in clear water,but I did run over a baseball cap once and it threw one of the replacable blades. I can't really fault these props they do there job, but because of the thinness of the replaceable blades (thats what there designed for) it wont take much to snap a blade. If you are thinking of purchasing one,then I reckommend you purchase some spare blades with the initial purchase. If you are carefull I have know doubt you can run one of these without problems, but as I do most of my boating in the harbour and the mouth of the Hawksbury,there is always a bit of crap floating around in the water. So I will let you make your own judgement. for what they are I give them an A+ but I will be sticking to a solid blade for a main prop. Hope this post gives you some usefull info Spic but this is only my opinion.

( now if I could afford it I would go for a stainless prop) that should leave you completely confused LOL
