Tohatsu prop needed

[lightning]

I contacted Tohatsu and they said that on a 2.8m SIB the 9.8 2-stroke should be fitted with the largest pitch prop that is available.
It came with an 8.5 and they do a 10.

I'm guessing this may improve the performance, or maybe the top speed of the boat. Unfortunately the prop is £200...

Is there a cheaper make than the OE which looks a bit roughly made anyway? Or is this cheap for a propeller? I've never bought one before.

Have a chat with these guys, I have had Volvo props altered in pitch and diameter by them in the past.

Try boats.net or iboats.com

Even in the UK, Yam props for an 8hp are <GBP100.

Lightning, if you want to recoup some of your outlay on the 11", I'd buy that old prop from you.

I would sell the old prop but need to buy the new one and compare it first, to see if there is an improvement.

Ok. Ouch! RRP £154.98 plus vat. If you need one pm me I am sure we can arrange a Ribnet discount. They are in UK stock.

Can you tell me if this might be a worthwhile swap on my boat/engine?

Or is it a case of try it and see? (Tohatsu 9.8 2-stroke on Zodiac 2.85m solid floor SIB)
