I found that my port engine's prop had suffered a hit that bent 2 of 3 blades, one has a small crack as well, so I went to order new props. I could not find an exact replacement (11.25 x 13) so I went with 2 Solas that were listed as 11- ?/5ths X 13. Can't remember the "5th's" but I mistakenly calculated them as 11.20 diameter....they are actually 11.62 diameter. I have plenty of clearance to run them on my Honda 45's, just wondering what the slightly larger diameter will do. I assume that it will knock down my WOT slightly if anything (was a max of 5900-6000 previously). Would those in the know agree?

IMHO, with all other things being equal, the larger diameter props should allow a little less slip with their better bite because of their larger area, and have just a bit more friction with the water, both dropping your rpm slightly.
But them again, I'm no Prop Guru, either!
Joe. :teeth :thup

Thanks. I'm truly humbled. My bride says I'm immoralized. :shock:
Not sure it was a compliment... on edit: She claims she said imortalized, that's not the word I heard!
You really gotta get down to our place on the bay. Dock, water, power, free apartment with shower, kitchen etc. Any one else want to compliment me? Didn't think so. :roll:
