It seems like a lot of prop suppliers don't sell props for engines under 20hp. I find this strange. I'm currently looking to replace a Yamaha 8 1/2 x 7 1/2 prop for a 2004 F8MLHC. Thinking about stepping it down to a lower pitch as it's being used as a trolling motor. If anyone knows of a supplier with a good selection of props, please let me know!
Thanks!

Hi Monty

Give this place a try. I bought a stainless steel prop for my 100hp a few years ago and they were the best price of anyone by far, about $100 less than anywhere else I checked. Not had a bit of problems with it and they're fast service mail order! thumbsup

I don't know if I've got your motor/prop the way you want it but I think I'm close.

HAPPY HUNTING! 2cents

Thanks, Smoke...

I just ordered a prop from them a few minutes ago. A good deal, I think.

what I run for a kicker prop. as fast or faster than an alum and less money. allows me to run a low pitch high thrust prop for my heavy cabin boat kicker. low pitch allows me to run a higher idle rpm and still keep troll speed down with a 15hp 4 stroke kicker.

really tough. bust a blade off hitting submerged junk, 15 minute replacement.
