[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 231291, member: 6937"] On the note of adjustable props.....there's a company that makes one, I think the name of the company is "Pro-Pulse" The pitch of the prop is adjustable, although, not on the go, you have to take the prop off the engine to adjust it. Still, it's great for experimenting with different pitches, without having to buy all the props. The blades are also individually removable and replaceable. A GREAT concept. Except for one thing......the $&^% thing is made out of plastic. That might be OK for a freshwater lake where you never hit bottom, but out here in the intertidal marshes with oyster rocks and sandbars, a plastic prop is as useless as double D breast implants on a boar hog. If only they would make it out of stainless, heck even aluminum, as long as the individual blades are replaceable, as the hub NEVER wears out......I'd run one on my boat. But as it stands, I'm currently running a Mercury Vengeance 15 pitch prop on my 16 foot Triton with a 50 merc. [/QUOTE]
