Motor is 454 HO. Will brass sleeve bore piece slide off 1" shaft? I removed damaged prop in water on lift. Is the shaft have a standard taper if sleeve is removed?
Eric,
I am looking for a new prop and repair of damaged prop. I have a 1991 240 Maristar that Has a WOT 0f 47 mph @ 4600 rpms. The damaged prop has a serial #48-18295-13. It is LH and 1"keyed shaft. Do all shafts taper down to a smaller thread? Mine goes from 1" down to approx. a 13/16" diameter thread. Can you give me a price for a 4 blade replacement and an estimate on repairing damaged one.? Boat is used for skiing and waking and pleasure riding.
Eric,
I bought a prop from you late last year, I have a 2001 prostar 209 with the rtp-1 predator motor (310 hp). I have a 13x14 prop on there now, I can only turn 4500 rpms, at 41 mph WOT.
Seems like I used to be able to turn 5000 rpms at achieve around 45-46 mph WOT. I don't know if it is the alignment holding me back or the prop. In the past I have had the prop reshaped by Conroe Marine, and the pitch may have been different. I have taken my boat back to Houston MC and they say the alignment it good. (hit a submerged log last year and needed new underwater gear, strut, prop, shaft.) The I can not turn 5000 rpms, so this leave me to believe I have 500 rpms left. What are your thoughts on this?
Jim
Eric,
I am hoping you can help to point me in the right direction on a prop issue.
I have a 13.7 x 15 LC 4 blade XMP on my 2008 MC PS197 w/powerslot and while pulling someone today at 20mph I hit a submerged piece of wood that was roughly 3" in diameter. As soon as the wood hit my hull I pulled the throttle to neutral but obviously my glide carried me over it. I jumped in the water and ran my hand along every inch of the prop and amazingly there was not a ding on it, nor was there any damage to my rudder or tracking fins. However, when I accelerate, at about 18-20mph, I feel a slight vibration back through the wheel but it seems to go away above or below that speed. When I pulled the boat out of the water I visually inspected everything and again, everything looks new without so much as a scratch.
So, my question is, could I have bent one of the blades without causing any other visual damage? If so, what do you charge to re-work this prop?
Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Eric, I have a 1989 MasterCraft Tri-star 190 indmar 351 250 hp, just bent my original prop could you give me a good suggestion as to which i should upgrade to. normally 4-6 people onboard, we wakeboard, kneeboard and tube but also would like some decent speed. current specs 13x13lh cupped original to boat 39 mph @ 4200rpm 1:1 transmission, no ballast, usually full of fuel 25 gallons boat weight 2400 lb dry according to owners manual, Thanks for your input and quote.
Eric, I have an 03 X-2 with the 310 hp Predator engine, the boat is new to me. It has a OJ 14 20 prop on it. When I bought the prop was just redone it seems to have good all round performance, good hole shot, top speed 42. I am looking for another prop as a spare, or the new one as my main. I didn't see that size on your website. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sean
Eric, I have a 2000 ProStar 190. I am looking for a replacement prop. We wakeboard and ski behind the boat. stock motor. It has the original prop on it which is a 4-blade. Any assistance with type and material would be appreciated.
Thanks, David
Eric i have a 89 prostar 190 with stock motor 1:1 trans,i am recreational wakeboarder.i have about 300 pounds af ballast and usualy have 4-5 passengers,the 3 blade prop that came on the boat(not sure what size,wakeboard speed 23mph@2400rpm,the top speed is about 38-40mph)does ok,but i would like to get a 4 blade to hold the wakeboarding speed a little more constant,and maybe get alittle more power out of the hole. I do not ski and cruise at a moderate speed 25-30,so im not concerned at all with top speed, i may do some modest engine upgrades(+50hp) in the near future ,which prop would you recommend for me.Thanks,Jon
I have a 2003 Mastercraft 230 with 350 MCX upgrade.(no ballasts) I think the stock prop is 14x20 and it took a some minor bottom hits. What would you recommend for a replacement? Also, I've never removed a prop before, but do you need the special tools? Do I have the right numbers on the stock prop...Any help would be great. It's time for a new prop and to rebuild the original OJ.
