You guys all seem to be very savy with properly "propping" a certain boat & motor. I have a 1986 15' Whaler recently repowered with a new four stroke Yamaha 60. It came with a stock aluminum prop & turns a bit over 6,000 rpm wide open, maybe a bit too much? Anyway, we need to go stainless

Contact Member Tom W Clark, he is THE man! I'm running a Turbo Hot Shot 13.25 X 15? I believe. Never hits the rev limitor. Unless he's got something new up his sleeve. zot.

Is there a way to contact people direct?

Do a search using "F60 AND 15 AND prop" and you'll get lots of results, including this from Tom Clark:
10-1/2" x 15" Stiletto Triad 3.5, part # C 802315 with a C-014 Guardian hub kit.

15" pitch is a little tall, but zotcha seems to make it work. Correct me if I am wrong, but his motor is on a jackplate and his boat tuned for top speed.
For general purpose work, I would probably use the 10-1/2" x 14" size. It doesn't matter you select the Yamaha Performance Series 3-Blade, the Turbo Hot Shot or the Stiletto Triad, they are all the same propeller.
If you tow water skiers and tubes a lot, the Yamaha Pontoon Performance Series (a.k.a. Turbo Pontoon 1, Stiletto Star) might be the way to go.

No jack plate but willing of course to move it up or down, thanks for the info, looks to be clear

Not to be pushy, but because I hate to see people spend money they don't have to, you should be looking to pay around $200 or a little more for the prop and hubkit at an online retailer.

Yes I am running a jack plate and most happy with my performance, but I do not pull anything other than baits and an occasional stranded boat. zot.
As far as price goes, shop yourself nuts, than contact Tom W Clark.
