Location: Chicago, Beverly | Granted my boat only has a hopped up 40hp on it.. But I have three props for it, 2 al props, and a ss prop. For IN the SS prop isn't bad unless you hit brookville. For many of the lakes up north with their rock bars the AL is definitely the way to go. My 40 has enough torque to flex the al blades, I am sure a 115 will also. I like Mark's idea of getting the two AL props so you always have a spare, thus how I ended up with my two. It also does not hurt to perhaps get them different pitches as one may run better then the other... Unless the dealer absolutely hooked you up with correct pitch, then get two of the same. Defintely look around for deals on props, one of my al's and the ss were gotten at drastically reduced prices over what they should have cost.. See if the dealer would lend you out two props to try so you can figure correct pitch to use..Not sure if any dealers would do it, but that is the only way I know to be sure of getting correct pitch. |
