Hi
Does anyone have a stainless prop 19 pitch suitable for a Honda 130 I could borrow to see if it is better than my 15 pitch please?

Hi

I'm at the other end of the country so can't help with the prop but I'm running an 18" Vengence stainless on a BF130 on a 6.5 meter Coastline and it's still hitting 6000 RPM, 36 Knots I've just fitted a 20" Laser II (Mercury 15 spline) haven't had it on the water yet but I'm expecting 5600 RPM WOT. Points being.... 15" I would think is way too fine and Mercury Props fit (NOT MERCRUISER) it's a Mercury outboard gearbox Honda used) and they are much easier to come by. There is also a calculator on Honda's web site where you can enter details of your existing set-up/performance and it will recommend the best prop for you. The suggestion for mine was a 21" stainless.
Hope this helps.

I think the mercury props that fit come in even pitch sizes. I had a 20" on my Mariner 90 - which I bought from someone who had it on a Honda 130! (although one of a twin set up)
