[QUOTE="norshor, post: 139711, member: 2931"] I have a '98 Sears Gamefisher that I picked up a few years ago in mint condition. I really like this little motor, and need to keep under the 10 hp limit for a lot of lakes up north. It worked great on my old, lighter 14' boat once I put a Stingray on there. It really is a strong little motor. Now that I have a bigger, wider boat with floors, I have lost some ooomph. I still need to adjust the tilt away from the transom, but I really think I am losing a lot of power from the plastic toy prop. Don't get me wrong, the prop has been through some pretty good hits and held up like a champ, but it really isn't cutting it now. Whenever I buy parts for this thing, I end up on iboats, and go to Force and end up on the Merc fiche. Does anyone have any experience with replacing this prop with a steel or alum prop? I called my local prop shop and they said that they just didn't know. I can get a Quicksilver prop for $78 but have no idea what pitch to run. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
