Proper props: the wrong propeller - or a damaged one - can chew up your wallet

Article Abstract:

Boat owners should purchase a propeller with the proper diameter and pitch and use a tachometer to test the propeller at the wide-open throttle revolutions-per-minute operating range. Owners should use marine grease on the propeller-shaft splines and should occasionally check for bent blades.

Please don't say plastic

Article Abstract:

The Comprop composite propeller is compared to a used OMC SST II stainless-steel propeller, a new OMC SST II, and an OMC aluminum propeller. The Comprop performs at least as well as the aluminum propeller and almost as well as the new SST II, but it costs only $89.95.
