Need advice on prop
 

My son lost my prop off my 40 merc.it will be pushing a 17 foot Carolina skiff also have hydraulic jack plate.like pitch and 3 blade or 4 blade.

I would go with a powertech 13 pitch 3 blade....the prop shop in lafayette usually has them in stock.

X2. That's the most common setup for that motor.

13 pitch?

Yea, what montauk said.

I would go with the black painted stainless yamaha prop in a 14 pitch. Way better prop than a powertech. I have a power tech and it runs like crap. I tried my buddy's black painted yammy prop and got way more speed and rpms

Yea but if u run to many Rpms can't be good on motor and does yam and merc interchange

Yea they do. If you run too many rpms your rev limiter will hit. My rev limiter kicks in at 6200 rpm. With a 14p black yammy prop I can hit the rev limiter empty and with a load I can run right at 6000 rpm and that's where my motor runs best and best on fuel. I have a tohatsu 40. But I had a merc 40. The powertech from what I understand is a cheap imitation of the yamaha prop. It's heavier and don't run near like a yamaha prop. Cajun Christian can tell you more about it than I can.

Got a 11p u can add 2 to and get what ya want, pm me so we can make a deal.
