Prop manufacturing
Hi ,
Does anyone know a prop manufacturer that will do a custom build of a 9inch diameter prop with a 14inch pitch?
Haven't found anything online as these are such unusual dimensions
Thanks

Castle Marine in Caernarfon. We've had our prop rebuilt there. They're quite cheap. I was told by someone in the know that there are only two firms in the UK to go to, either Castle Marine or Steel Developments.

She's a 30hp 2str tohatsu 2006, lovely light engine very powerful and high revs, tohatsu say it's regulated for a prop up to 14inch pitch.
I don't mind loosing out on low speeds power I'm looking for faster top speed.

You need to make sure you don't overprop the engine, you could damage it.
