Sorry Sunshine, but diameter is the measurement straight across the prop. Not the circumference which is around the outside. I couldn't imagine the circumference to be 8 1/2 inches around the outside.
Hey mate! I have a 20hp mercury it’s an older 1980model. What prop would you recommend? I’m getting around 17kms/hr on the water. Would like to get a bit more top speed if possible
Great video, will it plane with two people on any of the props? Ive got a 2017 merc 9.9 with a 6.5 and 8.5 pitch props and want to get a 14 jon. Ill be fishing with two at all times.
ok I just need one that does it all or get close to. as soon as I get my boat set up i'm the only one that will be going out I don't know anyone that likes to do fishing camping etc so Im going to need just one can't afford 3 anyways lol I have a 1961 evinrude fastwin 18hp
@@OutofWORKoutdoors true Im a beginner boat person 1st boat. I use to go casting at night back in days with my brother we would take a wooden boat out, cast our net and bring home something to eat that shows my age a little lol
Hi i have an old mercury 9.8 on a 10 foot sib and i am changing from a 8x8 stock prop to a 9x8.5 because the stock is not available and apparently it can be bad for the rpms?
It all depends on what boat you have, Mercury doesn’t know what type of boat you’re gonna put the outboard on, usually on the low horsepower engines RPM doesn’t come into play, but you want to stay in the recommended RPM range for your outboard. in the 50hp and above range you can hit the rev limiter. Also LOWER pitch gives you HIGHER RPM.
@@mr.andersen1505 I have a suzuki 6hp + 270 inflatable boat with stock propeller 7 1/2 x 7 it goes 13knots with 1 personand 5.5knots with 2 people. Do you think if i use a smaller pitch , would it help to go any faster than 5.5knots (10kmph)?
@@boatsandoutboards9070 it might, but with so low horsepower it’s much harder to tell the difference when you change ur pitch, also if you go to low on pitch you might over-Rev your outboard so be careful. If it’s just a hunch that ur pitch is too high don’t swap until you need to because of wear or ding on ur old prop
@@mr.andersen1505 thanks, with 2 people onboard, it is a hunch in fact. A 9.9hp planes with 3 people, but a 6hp doesn't with 2 people. It is just on the edge.
Bro no disrespect but Ive never seen someone with 2 thumbs on their left hand what is the deal with that? Do You have feeling and movement with them both, do they both work, thats amazing!
I just saw this i have a yamaha 8hp 4 Stroke outboard on my 12ft v i Think my pitch is 8.5 in my prop i put a deck on the boat it seems pretty slow do you know if they make a 9.5 pitch prop mine i think has 7 splines i need alittle better spend or maybe like a 20hp id rather spend less money so id like to try a different prop First anyway thanks good video

Simply put and to the point.
Great content, you made it easy to understand
Glad to hear that!
Thanks for the video
had to put on new prop today lost 5mph and its going to suck more gas may have to get the old prop fixed it was way better.
good luck with that
That red Integra in the back though 😍😂🤣
That teg has it own channel. Its on konerri's channel called project RED
@@OutofWORKoutdoors got it! Looks like your last video on that channel was about a year ago. DId you stop? 😩

yeah you right, i used the wrong words.
@@OutofWORKoutdoors We know what you meant.
Hello my engine is 200 hrs yamaha two stroke im going to boat race so pls i need signature propeller for racing 26 pitch.

Do u notice much difference in the 8.5 and 9.5
The higher pitch i don't run in shallow water because it struggles to get up to speed
@@OutofWORKoutdoors but Did the top end speed go up much
What was the top speed with the newest prop?
About 22 mph
@@OutofWORKoutdoors how come if it was lower pitch than others?
Oops. I was thinking about the wrong one. It gets about 15 mph. I needed a lower prop for trolling, need more low speed control
Pls give me the price for it.

the boat will plane at about 12 mph with two 180 guys on it.

You may not need 3 but must have 2. You can hit some thing and a spare prop will save the day

If the pitch is too high your rpm will climb as high. 1 pitch over stock is no big deal. It only pertains when you go like 3+ pitch

I got feeling but no movement
This is the only video regarding props that I can actually understand thanks so much, I’m going to go up a pitch because I’m all about the top end

Well done, mad props!
just 3 props is good enough lol
High 6 man good vid
OK.
Thanks for the video. Just what I was looking for.
Glad you liked it
