Prop's

[macojoe]

I saw a boat the other day with a 250 hp outboard, and it had 2 props one in front of the other??<br />Do you need a longer prop shaft for this?? does it work much better then a single prop?? Do they get better or worse gas milage?? Do you recomend them??<br />I have a 175 Yamaha<br />Always looking for the best performance!!<br />Thanks

And they counter rotate. One goes clockwise and the othe counter clockwise. Its a whole different lower unit.

You're welcome!<br /><br />They're just like the Volvo dual prop I/O set up. The coolest one was a Merc unit that never was produced.<br /><br />It had the two props but the second one didnt kick in until a certian rpm. It worked on hydraulic pressure.
