I'm going to buy a backup prop for the BF 135 we are running on our CD 25. I'm really clueless as to what would be a good choice. Should I go with another factory aluminum prop? After market aluminum or ss prop with different pitch? Any suggestions or advise would be appreciated.

What is the current prop size? (diameter and Pitch?--probably 14 x 15)...number of blades? Are you going to ever run the boat at higher atlitudes? What is WOT RPM and boat speed. What is current RPM at 20 and 25 mph?

Probably an Aluminum second prop--but there are those who would argue to get a second SS prop--that the SS flex less and are more effecient.

I am going thru reproping my 130 Honda--and need to generate more numbers including fuel consumption to get the best prop. Power Tech is an excellent source--if you send the numbers.

Bob, thanks for the info. I'll check and see what the factory prop specs are and go from there. Will only be using the boat @ sea level. Been a long time since I've been down to Pensecola and the panhandle, very nice spot, like it there.
