Since we have a lot of prop questions on the site, we've installed this wonderful new forum to talk about it all.

Thanks MudSlinger for the idea!

Thanks Tony B!

Nice lower end on that rig.

New to forum. I have a 10 h.p. Briggs with a home made lower with: 5" upper pulley ,3.5" lower pulley, and 9x6 mud prop.
My problem is that it bogs down when I lower low into water, but hauls ass and then dies. I am thinking besides not lowering so far into water, that my pulleys or my prop pitch is off. I wanted to ask some experienced guys about this. Any????

Try the small pulley on top and big on bottom just to see if it still Boggs down....should have plenty power then, prolly could run it on dry land.

Wouldn't that be less torque? surely that would bog down worse? I can run on very low water now, just cant seem to keep it running well the further the pitch of the motor gets into the water.

to much prop for starts and the pulleys need to be swapped then try the prop but u may have to drop in the 8" range

Big pulley on bottom increases the torque.

should thats how all the mm are setup

WTF would you put this on a 5 year old subject that is unrelated for?

So what is the best prop for a MB 55 and a PD 36.. It's time to get two news and I want to buy the best performance prop for each motor
