Couldn't tell any difference last time I was out . Can running with a bent prop cause damage? I've also been looking at stainless props . Do they make that much difference in performance ? They sure are proud of them . Thanks. |

I think the aluminum props give and bend more than SS so if you hit something less likely to do damage beyond just the prop. |

That depends on your boating style. If you have rocky areas an alu will save your lower gears but you will be changing props a lot. Its the cost of boating. Stainless definitely gives better performance. Keep your insurance paid up lol. In salt water if you keep an I/O in the water you can be better off with an aluminum prop. Less change for galvanic corrosion. Unless you have a mercathode or Volvo's equivalent. |
