prop?

[lbfd48]

I have a 4-3/4 lower unit (78 150 v6), but I have a 4-1/4 prop, from a xr4 / I6. It fits, but is there any down side to running the smaller prop hub, like Performance?
Thanks, Jared

Yeah, it will tend to slip (possibly causing an engine overrev) because the exhaust won't all go thru the prop hub, but over it some.

Ayuh,... It'll Ventilate so Badly, you'll barely move...
