*new* Boat Prop - 17p 4-blade 15-spline Solas In Original Pkg - Merc & Yam on 2040-parts.com
Lake Placid, Florida, United States
|
Bought this propeller to try on my boat and it was WAY underpropped. Bought the exact same prop in a 21p and it works beautifully.
This 12.75x17p right-hand (std) aluminum propeller has been used once in a freshwater lake for less than 15min. Just long enough to know it wasn't enough pitch for my boat and partially remove the sticker. I'd keep it as a spare, but I still have my old 3 blade for that. I believe it fits both Mercury and Yamaha 15 spline shafts, though you'll need your own specific thrust washer ($5 locally if you don't already have one). You can find plenty of information online about this prop, but I can tell you from my experience with 4 blade props (including a 21p version of this one currently) that they hold much better in turns and high trim conditions, provide a little extra stern lift, accelerate better, are more fuel efficient at cruise, and sacrifice little to no top end (unlike 4 blades of old). I looked at stainless steel versions first, but for the price I can buy 2 of these and still have cash left over. Here's a couple links about these props if you're bored: |

Geneva Motor Show 2011 - Recap
Thu, 10 Mar 2011Last week, the Car Design News team headed out to Geneva to cover the motor show, just as we've always done. But there was something different about it this year. This 81st recurrence of the Swiss motor show not only saw Jaguar celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic E-Type and the first Italdesign vehicles created under the stewardship of Volkswagen, it also heralded a significant step forward for Car Design News' coverage of motor shows.
London Black Cab – another Chinese Takeaway
Sun, 21 Mar 2010London Black Cab - now the Beijing Black Cab Tower Bridge; Palace of Westminster; Red Double Decker Bus; Black Cab. Anyone, anywhere in the world, will immediately think of London if they see an image of any of these iconic symbols of our capital city. But at least one of these symbols of London – the Black Cab – is in a steep decline.
Driverless cars: why you wont be buying one soon (2014)
Mon, 24 Mar 2014By Damion Smy Motor Industry 24 March 2014 23:00 The driverless car is here – yet it’s not for sale. The technology has been showcased by almost every major car maker in recent times. In 2013 at the company’s AGM, Audi chief Rupert Stadler drove an A7 onto the stage via his iPhone, and BMW took journalists down autobahns in saloons that changed lanes by themselves, while Mercedes promises an autonomous S-class on sale in 2015.
