I have an older Tuffy Marauder with a 1990 Merc 50hp. My aluminum prop has been reworked a few times and now any time it touches anything it bends. I am thinking on getting a new prop and have some questions. Does anyone run a compprop? If so have you bumped stumps or logs at slow speeds and what were the outcomes? How are their performance? I currently have a 13 pitch. If I go with stainless should I keep the same pitch prop as the aluminum? I primarily fish stumpy flowages and rivers in WI. I don't have problems with high speed encounters, I just bump the ocassional stump or rock at slows speeds. If I go with SS what can I expect performance wise from a 50hp? Thanks in advance for all your help and good fishing................TC
