The prop on my pontoon is getting a little ragged on the edges. Thought I might get a new one this fall and put it on before it goes into storage and save the old one for a backup. The pitch on my prop seems to be correct for my boat so I will probably get the same. Found this while surfing for the best price on props.

Black Diamond 3 Blade PONTOON boat propellers.

These propellers are made by Mercury and specially designed for the Pontoon boat.

These props are double cupped for added performance and these types of non-planning hulls.


Is this what I should be putting on my pontoon? I don't know whats on the boat now but the motor is 9 years old (2001 75hp Merc) and I would assume the prop has been replaced at least once. I've noticed the wake/prop wash (whatever it's called) behind my pontoon isn't as smooth as my deep V fishing boat was. Is this normal for a pontoon (pic below). Would a "cupped" pontoon propeller clean it up? Anyway, I'd like to hear what more experenced pontooner think about dedicated pontoon propellers.

Your prop selection is very good. Your wake looks very normal for a pontoon and a your new prop is not likely to change it.

Wake! We don't need no stinking wake behind our pontoon....

Yes, you do need a wake. If you don't have one it means your motor is not running.
