[QUOTE="flatboat, post: 434443, member: 5508"] The really nice part about stainless is the ability to adjust pitch up or down . so if you find a prop that's used it can be pitched to hit your sweet spot in rpms. where I fish , in the marshes of sw Louisiana . stainless is the norm cause alum wears and is a lot softer , easier to bend or break . As far a wearing out lower unit cause its to heavy ,I don't know about that, there are some old outboards out here that's been running for 20 or 30 years with out many problems if properly maintained and most run stainless. Down here we can fish dang near all year and then there is hunting in amongst there as well , so some of us put quite a few hrs on an outboard in some nasty conditions ... imo stainless is the way to go [/QUOTE]
