Correct Prop???

    My last prop broke somehow (didn’t hit anything, one lobe just sheared off)… The remaining parts of the prop don’t say what the specs are unfortunately.

    I run a Lund 18′ Explorer, 140 Suzuki.
    My last prop was giving me around 6k RPM’s and ~42 mph when loaded. 45-48 when totally empty and calm.

    I want to say that the last Suzuki dealer that I talked to told me to put on a 3 x 14 x 19 aluminum… Does that sound correct??

    Thanks,

    I have a 115 suzuki on a 17 ft lund and use a 23 pitch,I started with a 21 and it over revved,I think suzuki’s have some gear reduction in lower unit,I would start with a 21 and alot of times where you buy it will let you exchange right away

    im in the middle of trying to re prop my warrior right now. I have a 20 pitch high five on it which limits my top end. Boaters Choice Marine has been great with letting me try different props in hopes that one will work. Give them a shout if your around the area, they will be happy to help find the correct blade and pitch combo that works for your rig.

    Yah sounds like the right prop. Make sure you get the 14″ diameter if your buying another aluminum prop.
