Piranha Prop blade replacement/spares

[tmh]

Guys, I'll be getting a Piranha Composite prop soon from someone. It has the replaceable blades. I'll get one hub, with a set of both 18P and 16P blades. Say I find the 18" run great for my setup so I use those as my regular prop. If I hot something and break a blade can i replace that one 18" blade with a 16" blade in the water to limp back to the dock? Could that un-matched pitch cause damage to the drive?

Or, if anyone knows, replace all four blades as it is to replace one?

Thanks. I'll report back how the Piranha performed compared to my 19" Aluminum in a couple weeks.

Re: Piranha Prop blade replacement/spares

You could replace one with a 16P blade and Idle back...anything more will put a side load on the gearcase...best thing would be to change all blades to the 16's and go....order an 18 blade when ya get home.
Another option would be to remove the opposing blade to the damaged one and go back on just 2 blades, with a 4-bld prop.
