Greetings.

I think its time. I bent the prop on the port motor pretty bad this weekend. Sea Hag marina straightened it to get us through the weekend but I stated we need a new prop. I agree. the boat is crabbing now. took 200 rpm difference to get it to track straight

Questions: 1. - has anyone gone from 3 blade to 4? "Yamaha prop finder program says go to 4 blade?"
2. are the cheaper props significantly different in quality. I don't want to mess this up, and I understand that a better quality part should cost more, but at what cost does it become un measurable?

thanks, dale
