Thread: Honda 100 Outboard Prop - Surtees 5.5 Hardtop

Alright, been on the phone a bit today talking to my local Honda Marine Dealer, Surtees, Prop Specialists etc and most of them have agreed my setup is not right and I should probably switch to a 3 blade 17 pitch prop. Turns out I haven’t been getting the trim range I should be able to comfortably get with the 4 blade either so a few other factors have come into play. We will loose a little holeshot get up but overall it should perform better and make the boat handle better hopefully. Now just to convince the boss lady as it turns out new props ain’t cheap!

Just use the "it will make it travel better and safer with the kids on board".
