My kicker prop is gone ... either fell off or was stolen. So I need to buy a new one, and I know nothing about them about than they turn around make my boat go. Looking for some advice.
It is an 8hp yamaha, 4-stroke, 2001.
Looking up specs online, seems yamaha default is 6.5" or 7" pitch. I see some online that are up to 9" pitch...what is preferred for a kicker? Go with standard or any performance advantage going higher?
Can get the Yamaha one for about $90 online, or $120 here in Sooke. I can get a Solas one online for $50 plus shipping. Is there much of an advantage with staying with Yamaha, or is one aluminum prop just as good as any other?
