150 MONTAUK 60-HP Aluminum Propeller
Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2019 3:56 am
Hello. I have a 2010 15’ Montauk with a Mercury 60-HP FOURSTROKE with the original VENGEANCE 14-pitch propeller, Mercury part number 48-17314.
I am happy with the performance from that propeller, but I would like to purchase an aluminum propeller [because] the boat will be kept at a summer house on a shallow bay with a few family members using the boat. I would hate to have them damage the stainless steel VENGEANCE propeller, and more importantly the damage the SS propeller can do to the lower unit [because] it is not as forgiving.
Q1: Will an aluminum 14-pitch propeller [produce performance that is] similar to the VENGEANCE 14-pitch?
Q2: what diameter is the VENGEANCE?
Q3: Will any 14-pitch propeller fit the BigFoot propeller shaft?
Thanks
