Hi guys,
i'm looking for your adivse on props. I would like to know the pros and cons of having a stainless steel props.

in order for you guys to give me the best advise, my boat is a Sylvan Expedition 17 equipped with a F115 Yamaha. The boat fully loaded 3 guys plus gear, we top end at around 38-40 MPH motor trim up. I currently run a 13 1/2 inch diameter with 19 pitch aluminum prop.

I've heard that they've created a plastic yoke that would go inside the stainless steel props so that if you it something the yoke would break before the actual shaft. Is there such thing or the shaft will still be damage or even break.

Is there any advantage of getting a stainless steel prop keeping in mind that i like to troll in shallow water for musky?

thanks.
