Propellers

Post by knaus470 » 16 Mar 2021, 00:00

Hello all

Looking for your recommendations on the best shops to use for new props for my Hissan/ Tohatsu 4st 5 hp and Honda 4st 5hp outboard engines

Thank you in advance

Also, if you have fitted a prop guard to your outboard, recommendations of the make/model/sellers for this would also be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

Tony

You're probably going to struggle to see any gain in speed/power by changing the prop from standard size and pitch on such a small outboard.
Sticking with the manufacturer advised is the way to go....

Hey Tony,

I have used these guys for a double cupped propeller for my 6hp outboard. Whilst not having much of an impact on speed, it does get up on plane...
