Prop Deals

[john gov.]

I have a Yamaha F225 with a 13-3/4 x 21 prop (original equip) and we ran in some shallows and got it a little chewed up last season. Not bad but I would like to get a new spare. How much should I expect to pay and who should I buy from?

Thanks for any sugestions.

You didn't say whether it was stainless or aluminum. We just had a thread about some of the better suppliers for us and several have been mentioned. You may want to check out some of the m and inquire. Most aluminum with hubs can be had for around $120. Stainless can start around $280 and go way up there. If you are usually boating in an area with rocks, oyster beds, etc. it will be better to use aluminum. Sure is a lot cheaper getting one replaced or repaired instead of a lower unit or prop shaft. Good luck!

I've got at least 6 SS props of different sizes sitting around in my garage. We ought to put together a "clearing house" of used but serviceable props to sell, swap, donate, whatever........

If you want stock Yamaha props, Andy and Shipyard Island Marine is a good one.

Many other brands will fit. I deal with Quicksilver, Mercury, and Powertech mainly.

The prices mentioned above are about right. 120 ish for Aluminum, or 280+ for SS.

I need a spare set of emergency props for my DF 300's. Currently have 16x20, but insofar as its for an emergency only size should not really matter as much. Doing a trip to Abaco.
