Re: Changing the Prop?
He's right, what do you expect out of a small motor. I have changed a 3-blade prop on a 35 hp merc. I replaced with a four blade comp prop purchased from bass pro shops. It made a difference coming out of the hole but not much in plane speed. Not knowing the pitch of your prop it is hard to say what it might do for you. I guess you sit on the rear of your boat to guide it, if that is the case you would have to balance your load to get the boat to plane out right to notice any speed difference. Good luck, but I would get a bigger motor. Tim
