[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 480977, member: 15636"] I’d skip the stainless steel prop myself ... pure WASTE of good $$$ on a 40hp motor IMHO! I would put one of the new Hustler pressed aluminum ones by Turning Point on it, 4-blade if you really need to carry a load - those props offer unreal performance! They run about $85. Be honest with the weight carried in that Turning Point prop calculator and pitch it to be no more than 200 RPM off, preferably closer to the max rating for that or any motor. Find myself with light fuel and I would be right at the max rating, carrying 5 people with full fuel and I would only be down 200 RPM at most. [/QUOTE]
