How To Install / Change Boat Motor Prop | 20hp Mercury Outboard

[@carney8282]

Any update on the performance of the new prop? Did the change make a noticeable difference? Thanks for the video!

[@jimsharp8971]

Thanks for the video! Where did you get the anti-seize and prop from?

[@chrismulhollen5135]

I have the same motor with the stock prop on a Lund 1600 fury,I’m running at the top of my rpm sometimes over ,so would you recommend a 10 stainless or 9,I don’t wanna loose speed but I was under the impression that the higher the pitch the more rpm you loose

[@robertsteele8838]

Did it increase speed ?

[@henryhamlin]

Tracker grizzly? I have the same boat and motor if so. So this is very helpful for propping my boat.

That's correct, the 1648 Tracker Grizzly

Very nice video. Thanks. This is a general commentary - not specifically about you. I see it all the time - when KZbinrs run into an awkward or difficult step - like your difficulty removing the cotter pin - they often edit out the part where they are struggling. I guess this is to make them look more competent or expert. But those difficult bits are the exact parts we need to see - how you managed to overcome the difficulty. You did as I'm suggesting when showing the retrieval of the broken pin - so I know you get it. So, I guess I'm just ranting at DIY KZbinrs in general, not you in particular. Show all your mistakes!

That is a great perspective, thank you for sharing it. I will certainly keep that in mind.

Do you remember your top speed going from aluminum to stainless? I have the same motor, but it’s on a 13ft whaler .

[@mvboutdoors]

To be honest it wasn't much, in the end I feel that motor was just too underpowered for the size boat/weight.

[@aus5405]

Is this process the same with carbureted 20hp Mercury’s? (2017 model)

[@mvboutdoors]

I'm not sure if they share the same lower unit but for the size it shouldn't be much different than a cotter pin and castle nut.

[@mulespur4806]

That brass washer was the thrust washer

[@skruface]

What size is the prop nut?

[@mvboutdoors]

I'm not sure bud, it's a standard size if that helps.

[@laingej]

What was the outcome? Rpm and speed mph changes

[@mvboutdoors]

Very little change actually! In the end it turned out the motor was just underpowered for the boat. We eventually upgraded to an entirely different setup. There was a small gain in speed and lowering of the RPM so it was a worthwhile upgrade in general but not the fix I was looking for.

[@craigattaway1410]

What is the propeller part number?

[@mvboutdoors]

Sorry I don't have it available any longer but if you use the Solas website and select your motor year/hp it will tell you.

Im gonna change 4 blade from Pro Kicker to this one. Thanks no clips is useless just use your brain and community sense
