Looking for help & advice re stainless prop's
Got my boat last year - Ribquest 5.8 fitted with a Suzuki DFTUL115. This engine comes with an ali prop as standard = Got to have the 140 for a stainless. The boat gave me a knats under 40 knots after running in, but top end has dropped now to about 37 or there abouts. Prop is 15'' 23''.
Generally we dont run that heavily laden and the boats handles well -
Would a stainless prop make a difference? Are there really lots of benefits to be had for going stainless...... increased economy for instance ?
Any thoughts / comments greatly appreciated.
Steve
