composite propellers

[gamomcv]

I need a new prop for my Key West 1900 sportsman (center console used for inshore fishing in Chesapeake Bay) and am considerting acquiring a Pro Pulse composite propeller. Does any one have any experience with this prop or infromation to share about composited props in general? It would be appreciated

Aluminum prop will perform much better. You can find cheap serviceable props by the dozens on Ebay. I haven't bought a new one for a long long time.

If you can buy a high dollar S/S prop Do it. Thats all.

I agree with Popeye. There is no prop that will perform like a SS. Composite props are cheap junk and usually cost more than aluminum. I only keep my original aluminum prop that came with the boat as a spare.

Contact Ken at www.propgods.com and he will take care of you. Great guy and has a prop swap program to make sure you get the correct prop for your setup. He has more knowledge about boats and props than most. Tell him I sent you.

I bought one from Westmarine. It lasted two day trips before the hub spun. Westmarine refunded the full amount. Won't go that route again.Plastic has it's place,but it isn't propelling a boat.

Amen to that Stainless is the only way to go.

Maybe for a light weight spare.,but not for normal use. IMO
