Has anyone played with some new props for these motors yet? Seems like us with smaller/lighter boats could get more out of our rig with a bigger prop. My rig runs its best at 45-4600 rpms empty and don't drop off much at all with a 3-4 man load.
When I mod my motor I'll have to have more prop to do much

I've been waiting for someone to try a regular old outboard prop for open water running. 13spline 7/8 shaft LH

^^^no shit...i seen some mud boats with outoard lower units used that were very fast. Seen a stock 36 bolted to a 60 merc lower unit run 30 easy.

I found some chopper props that would really work for y'all needs problem is they are almost 400$ for a test prop I don't know many people with pockets that deep for a maybe

They left hand and have a variety of pitches.

If u wanna send me your prop I can pitch it up for ya and see how much more you'll gain .. I pitched an old gen 2. 3 blade to a 20 pitch for Mac and he could turn it well

Is yours the 15 pitch

I have an 11" 3 blade I pitch up to a 20 and he can hit the revlimiter with it adding cup today see if that helps bind it a little

Let me know how it runs. I know this one dont run very well speed wise. It looks to me about ~2mph slower as opposed to the GEN2 lower and prop with same mods....

I think for all around usage and how i use a boat i would like the new gear. It grew on me....The power to eat though float is unreal and i always seem to have a good load with me. Typically have 3-4 bowifishing and 2-3 hunting.

I think that gear with a little better engine. Or an engine that can turn 5000 safely would be a good combo.

Has anyone tried a Stumpy designed prop on the Gen 3 yet?

Not sure, but have tried a 2 blade PD prop pitched up to like 20'' and it didnt work well. 2.0-1 ratio blew right threw it....cavitated bad.

What about something like this?

Those are all right hand props.

Put it on backwards and use full power reverse.

Lmao...did it work?

Yes, but can't keep it trimmed down, and filled the back of my boat with 2 inches of mud.

I actually had some on my now non existent Facebook account. I think my gf may have them on her phone.

Get you some of that! LA prop can make it happen......20p GD prop and still hitting the rev we need more cup!

What's your rev limit? If you're telling me you are turning it 4700 then what's the ratio of the LU.

What speed btw?

4700, 1.5 ratio, 20p prop, factoring in 10% slip which is conservative for a surface piercing propellor equates to 53.4 mph.

2:1 ratio equates to around 40mph.

2:1 is what he has, and I believe that is an 11" prop

Ok, so factoring in more slip puts him at 35-36mph.

I think he is running around 34

That puts him at 23% slip, a little more cup should do the trick.
