Props?

Featured Replies

I guess I'm out of touch.   I was looking for a spare 26P prop for my 250SHO and I can get one for <$1000.     That's was the price I paid during covid when they were unobtainium.  So I started looking at options. 

I used to run Turbo's back in the day, and seems like Yammie has the Turbo trademark now?   Did they sell/get bought out?   

I'm running the first gen SHO and I saw a message for the prop "no longer available" at one of the sites, but I can still get elsewhere.   So may or may not be obsolete now?
Is there a New prop for the new 250 SHO?   I run a T-2.   (on a 520C.)

Any other suggestions to check out, if you run one?   

I found this after searching around.   Answers the first question.   YES.

I purchased a spare 3yrs. Ago for $800 from my Skeeter dealer. I see Yamaha has them now for $955

I was looking for alternates mostly that people ran and had success so I coudl compare.   

That seems to be the going internet price and fall back.  My prop guys had moved but I tracked them down.   

 

Recommended SHO vmax prop is 25P, I'm at 26P, and could turn 27, to keep the rpms <6250(rev limit).   The 26 drags when you let off, so that would only get worse w/ 27.   Maybe a smaller hub and 27 might work.   520C w/ hyd jack plate and two talons, is transom heavy and too much lift and it's a WOT squirrel >70.   I don't drive like that anymore.   It came with a 25 but must not have pushed it since the max outs were few.   Nothing wrong with what I'm using except the price.   Add on a refurb and I could have bought two in the past.

When I go to call up the Turbo props from Yammie, the link isn't found, so I don't know what's up with that?   Unless they're parading as 4 blades?   4 blades have more lift so wrong direction.

ps: If I recall correctly, there was a "Gary H" that fished in the PA FED back in the >00's when I was there(w/ brandywine).

Put the engine in neutral (out of gear) and use a 12” long piece of 2x4 under the cavitation plate to stop the prop turning to loosen and/or tighten the prop nut.

In theory the engine can start turning the engine over by turning the prop shaft several times…only if the prop shaft is in gear and ignition is on.
