Best place to buy new prop?
(1/1)
MikeB:
Hey guys,
The current prop on the CVX-16 has seen better days and it's time to get a new one. The best prop I've used so far is a 17 pitch, 13.25" aluminum Mercury prop. That's probably what I'll end up getting again. Is there anything else to keep in mind about where to buy or brand, or should I just go to Boaters Outlet and pick up another 17 pitch Mercury?
Hyperacme:
Thats a Mercruiser isn't it ?
You guys ski and wake board a lot ?
Look thru Craiglist ...

Thanks for the links - I knew there had to be a better place to shop!
We do a lot of deep water slalom skiing so hole shot is probably the number 1 priority. The boat originally came with a 19 pitch. That had some issues planing out so we went a littler smaller. It's an OMC Stringer 400, but I'm pretty sure it's running the same 17 pitch prop I took off the old Mercury 115 Tower.
I have my eye on this one:

13 1/4 x 17 is same as a 115 hp Merc !
And the hub / splines /thurst washer are the same also ?

I talked to Mark at Mark's prop shop in Stacy. Good to deal with and will swap till you get what you're looking for. He had the prop I wanted, but sold it before I could get there. Also Jerry Sellner has a bunch of props. Give him a call. The price will be right.
