Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Spare prop for 18 with 150 Yamaha

I would like to have a spare prop for my 89 150 Yamaha.  Currently the prop is SS stamped with 19P.  5k max revolutions at WOT.   Ideally, the spare would be a different pitch/style to allow for performance experimentation.  Boat is used for everything- fishing,cruising/water sports.   The spare does not have to be SS. Not sure that any local dealers would lend a prop for trial - Lake Erie levels are low again this year.Any suggestions?

If you want a fast propeller try the Stiletto Advantage 4.75 in the 14-1/4" x 17" size. If you want a cheap light weight spare to carry onboard, buy an aluminum Stiletto Ariva 4.75 in the 14-1/4" x 17" size.

The Mercury Enertia in the 14-3/8" x 8" size would also be an excellent choice.

With the exception of the aluminum prop, these would become your primary and the prop you have now would become the spare.
