Author	Topic:   SS prop for Yamaha 40
polaris	posted 04-15-2003 04:01 PM ET (US)         I have a '99 13' GLS sport with a 40 HP Yamaha 2 stroke. Looking for improved performance. What are your recommendations for the best SS prop for this rig? Thanks.

Last spring I purchased a SS prop from Michigan prop, I think it was called the "turbo shot" or "hot shot." Cost me about $300. It was well worth the money. I noted a significant improvement in hole shot. I found them via teh web. Check the specs on your current prop, RPM, and order an appropriate size for your use and current performance.

This prop looks goofy with big "Mickey Mouse ears" blades but it does the job! Never could swing a 14" pitch Yamaha SS prop (small cleaver type) with the 40hp but could swing the 14 or 15 with the 50hp version. Happy Whalin'.. Clark... Spruce Creek Navy
