Looking for Suzuki Prop

My Suzuki DF20 came with 9 1/4 x 12 prop, but rpm is a bit at the lower end for my sib and set up.

Trying to pick a 10 or 11" pitch as advised by PD and others experiences on here, for a trip at ther end of the month.

Looking on ebay etc they all seem to be sold out or very expensive, although I have emailed a couple of companies to check their stock.

Has anyone got one lying around they are willing to sell?

Cheers Brian

Cheers PD. I did see that on both ebay and their website and have emailed them on the off chance they might have a 10.

Just not sure the 11 will make enough difference to bother, as I think we were 5300/5400rpm max, and if the 1 inch gives roughly 150-200rpm, potentially the 10 would bring us nearer to the 6300rpm @ wot.

But to be honest they are quite a reasonable price, and any spare prop in the tool kit would be better than non.

Hi Steve....health and wealth issues been keeping us busy

But booked a self catering and heading out west with the sib for a few days, so just have to hope for a decent spell of weather.
A bit early on the year maybe, but its the only time my son can come with us, so will take a chance.

Anyway there is a bar in the place, so all is not lost.....

Haven't booked anything as yet, but planning Oban, St Abbs, Anglesey and St David's.
Work will probably get in the way this year, just have to wait until the opportunity arises.

I see they are also sold out of the 91/4 10 pitch I was after, but I might just end up with the 11 yet.

I blame pd and the forum for a rush in sales.....😆
