Will a mercury prop fit a Honda?
Re: Other props that fit Honda engines My understanding is that Mercury prop with Flo Torq hub will fit but you would need a matching thrust washer for Honda. Mercury’s thrust washer won’t fit.
What pitch of prop should I use?
The lower the prop pitch, the better your hole-shot. However, this comes at a price: top speed. The lower pitch makes the engine reach maximum rpm at slower speeds. Conversely, a higher pitch will deliver greater top speeds, but slower acceleration.
What is Honda power thrust?
The Honda BFP60, or Power Thrust, utilises the same lower unit as the BF75 / 90, enabling engine torque to be converted to prop thrust more efficiently, to a point. The trade-offs are slower WOT speeds and longer periods of times to reach WOT once planing.
How do I know what size prop I need?
Propeller size is expressed with two numbers, diameter and pitch, with diameter always stated first. Diameter is two times the distance from the center of the hub to the tip of any blade. Smaller prop diameters generally go with smaller engines, or with fast high performing boats.
Are outboard props interchangeable?
Just like shoe size, the bore of the propeller is specific to the prop shaft that is on your boat. Shaft is not interchangeable, you must use the correct size prop for your boat’s shaft or the prop simply won’t fit.
What is the difference between power tilt and power trim?
