Composite prop satisfaction

I've got 4X10X13's on the Honda 40's and have been running them for over a year with no complaints....got um at West Marine
 
Bill, I was real curious how the comprop would perform on Da Nag. It sounds like you're pretty happy with it and for $79 bucks that makes it even better.

Hey Bill, did you hang on to the correct catalog part number I gave you from Bass Pro Shop? If you still have it for the Honda 90, would post it for reference. I don't think Bass Pro Shop got the part numbers corrected in the catalog yet.

Dude - you're getting old. You posted that info on page one of this thread... :P
 
All I can add to this thread is - stay out of Cook's Cove at Guemes Island! Either that, or carry four extra blades! That is the site of our infamous encounter with a nasty piece of waterlogged wood that broke all four blades off one of our composite props the first time we used them...I am back to the factory issue aluminum props. Of course that same encounter could possibly have fried the Honda's lower unit...but seeing the bare hub with no blades when I raised the engine has sort of put me off these puppies.
 
I have a 3x14x19 on my Johnson 90 on the 22 cruiser. I wasn't testing the prop but on my recent trip I think it turned something over 5000 at WOT. This is with a fully loaded boat for cruising.

I think I would like to try the comprop and am wondering what size to get. If the Honda 90's use a 3x13.5x17 then I think there must be a differance in gearing from the Johnson. To go to a 4 blade would I want to try a 4x14x17?

Thanks,
Steve
 
I have a comprop on my 70 hp evenrude on my starcraft and just love it. much smoother and Iam able to plane at lower speeds then with my old 3 blade prop. Iam glad to hear that they seem to work on c-dorys and will include it on my list of goodies when we buy ours.
 
Been reading the thread on composite props and wanted to go ahead and order one and keep my stock prop for a spare. Can any of you with the Comprops help me out with sizing? I'm running a 3x13.x15 standard Yamaha aluminum prop on my F80, which seems to be about the right size for WOT - do these diameters and pitches translate to the sizes for a 4-blade prop? (i.e. should I be ordering a 4x13.5x15 prop?)

Thanks - Jim F.
