[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 429081, member: 6843"] Just giving you friendly advice on one thing,if you continue using the ss prop it can do more damage then good to your lower unit. Engines as small as ours were not designed to handle ss props. If you do research you will see that. The gain of 2 mph is not worth the risk imo of destroying your lower unit. SS props do very,very little for small outboards, they are made for higher stronger hp outboards. Just wanted to throw that out . Now I'm not saying your motor will break or anything but I know the gears in our smaller outboards from everything I have read are not designed to handle the extra force and weight a SS prop produces on the shaft . Most people ignore that and never have issues, I'm just saying it's possible. The less strain on your lower unit gears the better. [/QUOTE]
