Watched the video and thought it was great and decided Family Marine could help me with getting the right propeller for my boat. I called them several times on different days and all I could get is.... "leave a message"...... oh well.... Anyway, It is a great video and thanks for the info.
I own a propeller repair shop and have to say this is one of the best videos I've seen to explain how they work to the novice boater
i agree that
This kind of knowledge and customer service is priceless. I’m in the middle of buying a boat and it so far been an absolute horrible experience I’m almost giving up.
Yes give up.
Great informative video !! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
This is THE MOST informative video I’ve watched on this subject. It’s all crystal clear now. Thank you so much for explaining so thoroughly. 🇨🇦👍🏼
Thank you for the info. Being new to boating, I didn't know there is so much to choosing the right propeller.
Well explained. Tons of great info here. Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much ive been reading about props for a week and learned nothing finally I understand what I need to consider to make the right decision
Great work Tom! I am very much a "boat guy", mechanically inclined, and I learned more about props in your video than the rest of my life combined!!
One of the most informative video, on this channel that I’ve seen in a while.👍👍
You enlighten me about the props. Thank you.
Wow! Tom, in just the two videos I watched of you (trailer and prop Part I), you have established yourself (and therefore Family Marine) as subject matter experts. You would be my go-to for any purchases or questions. Thank you for continuing to be so responsive in the comments as well. Solid paced voice/tone/articulation makes your videos very easy to follow and understand. Great job!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very straight to the point, highly educational, and easy to follow. The examples you give are perfect and I can honestly say that I now know the exact prop for my boat after watching this. If your shop was local to me, you would certainly have a new client for life. Keep up the great work guys!
Love this, we just sold our marina but still have a shop I really have to upload more videos
This information on propellers is great for a new boat owner like me. Thanks!
what a great video! never knew like 95% of the info he gives here....on to part 2!
Appreciate your guidance. Well done and very informative.
This is by far THE BEST tutorial I have ever seen on propellers. Not even in manufacturer's web pages you can find such a great information explained in such a clear way. Congratulations, keep the outstanding way of educating customer. I wish you had a branch in Texas.
Thank You Family Marine! Great Video's that's loaded with educational information I was searching for my outboard motor
.
THank you so much for making this video. Its exactly what i was looking for.
That was super informative thank you
Just a great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Minnesota has some great people. State is on my bucket list. Thanks again!
Very informative. Excellent video!
Super impressed Tom. We'll be meeting soon.
This informative video is by far the most educational and precise detail 1,2,3 and why and what for boat propeller presentation that I have ever seen!!! (and I've watched and read numerous mercury and other brand boat propeller video and articles) Thank you kindly! Also might mention elevation and hot season and cold season performance limits on outboard motors.
This kind of knowledge is huge. Thank you for your video.
I didn't realize you guys are in Willmar! I am to great to know I have some one to come see when I have prop problems!
Very informative, I lernded a lot! Thank You!
Very informative! I learned a lot. Thanks!
Great info, thanks family marine
Thank you for all the info!
Great video you guys covered a lot I learned a lot... at least I feel I did watching this video thank you
Wow, very informative and easy to understand. I was looking for some info on a prop choice for my new 90 Mercury and now I feel a bit more prepared. Thanks
Wow did I learn a lot about props, thanks for making this video.
Your explanation on the nuances between blade types and factors was really well explained.
Very informative. Thank you.
I work in a boat shop. Came here for some added knowledge for the everlasting debate on which pitch someone should use. Awesome video, subbed and about to watch them all.
Very good teacher with truthful information Thank You
Very informative video!
Wish you were in the Wilmer near me on Mobile Bay, Lower Alabama.
I just bought a 2001 Sea Hunt Escape 200 with a 150HP Yamaha 2 stroke rebuilt in 2010 that has had its 3 blade tips ground off of a Michigan Wheel Ballistic 345931 14-7/8" Diameter, 15 Pitch, Right Hand Turn, 15 Spline Stainless Steel that needs more help than the Trim Tabs can provide getting on a plane.
This is very informative if you can sit down and understand all the technical stuff. Thanks for the video
best explanation i have ever heard.
Great lesson, thanks
Very informative video. Tom, great job!
Very interesting, thank you. I have learnt a lot.
Absolutely the best explanation of props
Great info ,nicely done.
That was a VERY INFORMATIVE video! Very interesting as well! You answered many of my questions, even those I thought to ask, as you went along. Thank you so VERY much!
So much info, Top stuff!
Thank you for this video. I have been asking online and marine shop around me and no one can give me an answer on the prop i needed. Now i know what prop to get with your help and info in this video. Thank you for taking the time to make the video
Do you have a tachometer installed on the motor?
This is the first time I see this subject explained in a way everybody can understand. I’ll use it within our Dutch group of boat enthousiasts who moslty run outboards in the range 10 to 100 hp if I may. Thx
Great video, best I've seen!
This is a very valuable presentation. I really learned alot. Thank you.
Great video many thanks.
such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for making videos.
Thanks Greg
VERY Excellent and helpful video !
Helpful information. I just bought a used Crestliner with an unusual stainless steel propeller. And I am operating it on border lakes with lots of rocks. Mostly I know where they are, but I think I will put the spare/original, provided with the boat, on. Best Wishes.
Finally, a video on props with a speaker who knows his business. Well done !
I'm working on an RC boat, and finding easy to understand info on matching a motor and prop is very difficult. This isn't for a real boat obviously, but this was still very helpful because all the math is just scaled up.
You are a great explainer, with much didactic ways.
Salutations from Baja California Sur.
I liked your video thank you for make it simple to understand what prop good for what
Have to agree with Barry Bebenek; the most informative video on props I've ever watched.
Great learning experience!
Excellent explanation of propellers now if I can just figure out what inserts are all about I’ll know something thank you very much
well explained sir....
Proof that you cant beat experience ... thanks - great video
very knowledgeable great presentation
very good explanation.
great explanetion!
Fantastic informative video, Thank You.
thank you
Well explained cheers :)
nice, im new to boating here in thailand and learned allot of this video
Evinrude and Mercury are both made in Wisconsin, with long traditions of made in America.
And guys like this chap really do know their stuff - generations of living in the details.
Even though now in Florida, still have kids in Wisconsin.
Currently in the process of replacing an outboard engine on one of my boats, and found this very informative,
reflecting back on propeller mistakes in the past - that he describes.
your 1/2 right lol.......evinrude wont be made anywhere ....BRP.....STOPPED PRODUCTION END OF THE LINE .....
technically evinrude plant was in waukegan , IL.
Good information
At 13:13, he says, " This is what we call a forged propeller".
As far as I remember, forging is heating it and bashing it with a hammer to form it.
Casting is a case of melting the metal and pouring it into a mold. This is the manner they make propellers either gravity fed sand molds or ceramic molds with a wax replacement or injection systems.
Very good video ive owned 17or 18 boats so far always used O,E, M. Props prefer Aluminum as a safety feature of sacrificing a prop tp save my outdrive or lower end My preference has been inboard /outboard Mervruiser or Yamaha outboards yet ive had good luck with Nissan/Io gatsu products as well for overall reliability and maintenance although they aren’t the fastest motors in their class they have been a good value to me Ive always stressed the same thing to my freinds about the numbers on props you will. Gain one but lose the other in the process many of my boats hav been Ski boats for myself and my family as A Florida jud Waterskiing was a passion and as i got older i enjoyed a lot of wakeboarding as it was easier on my knees
Hi , I have a 24ft avalon tritoon with a 150 merc efi . we mainly use it at 5500ft elevation and the boat is somewhat loaded down with beach gear. after 3 props i finally got the motor to hit proper RPMS , went from 16 pitch to 13pitch all merc aluminum props , now they gave me a black max 16 " dia x 12 pitch . boat has much better holeshot , but i noticed when i trim it up a little it still ventilates or cavitates but nothing like the 13pitch . The boat does fine with just me and my two daughters , but when i added two extra people and there gear it seemed more noticeable . we mainly use it to pull kids on tubes and cruise around lake with family . top speed is not important. after watching your great video , I'm wondering if i should switch to 4 blade or stainless ? today we are going to use tube and see how this prop does. thank you for your help
I have a little old Honda 8hp 4 stroke on my 16' aluminum Sylvan. I'm looking at getting a new propeller because I cannot get the boat to plane out I tried all different trim positions and it won't do it unless I move myself towards the middle seat of the boat then it goes from about 6 or 7 mph bow sky high to about 14 mph and planes nicely, like a whole new boat! Thanks for this video.
awesome video
Need validations, recommendations or opinions. Thanks to all that reply. I've got a 2010 18.5' Sea Ray open bow with a 4.3 Mercury. Will usually have 4-6 people on it. Im looking for a little more torque for pulling skiers. It has a factory 3 prop on it now. I know a 4 prop will help. But should I be looking for a certain pitch or hub size. This video was very helpful in understanding props. Thank you!
A great informative video about props, after thinking i was upgrading to a stainless prop for my mercruiser 3.0Litre with Alpha 1 on a bayliner 190, from having an aluminum prop. I first found that i could not even get on the plane with just 3 people on board, just getting 3600 rpm at full throttle, i was baffled. watched some you tube vids and purchased tabs for my boat that are to help lift it onto plane faster. I got it on plane after 4400 rpm still on low side. but with 6 people it was back to 3600 rpm no chance of getting it on plane. Then prop hit something submerged and wrecked the drive on prop. Now after watching this i am aware that i should have dropped my prop pitch by 2 inches to start with. I think i will be now going back to the aluminum prop and dropping pitch because for my application it is important to get it on the plain as quick as possible for fuel economy top speed isnt whats important. Great vid guys thanks for posting
Hey there John. Did you end up dropping the prop? I’m having the same issue on my 2017 Bayliner vR5 4.5 200Hp mercury. Can plane out with only 2 people sitting in the back. Any luck improving that issue on your boat?
best video ever
Fantastic
Love how he pushed those stainless steel props saying I won't cost nothing insurance will cover it please spend money in my store.
But on the other hand that was a great insightful video you are very knowledgeable and I learned something
Easily one of the best and most informational videos I've seen in awhile, thank you for explaining all this. I have a 2016 Tracker Super Guide V16 with Mercury 30hp 4 stroke, operating range of 5250-6250 rpm and I can barely get it to 4500 rpm with the 9.5"x11P 3 blade stock black max prop (I took it out today to verify). I'm not super concerned with top speed, I just need to get it on plane faster. It drudges through the water at 10-11 mph because I can't get it on plane, if by chance in perfect conditions I do I can maybe get 21 mph out of it around 5500 rpm.
amuddyjeep . My neighbour has the same boat as you with a 60 hp 4str mercury. With that motor he has trouble getting the boat to plane. He’s had the boat checked out by a marine mechanic and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. I think that the mercury motor is a dog. He can get 27 mph on a good day. A 30 hp isn’t nearly enough motor for your boat imo.
*Update: I finally got around to buying a new prop. It’s a Mercury Spitfire 4 blade 9.3” x 9.5 pitch. OMG WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I’m on plane in 5 seconds, no joke or exaggeration. It’s amazing! I top out around 5900 rpm, running about 18-20 mph. I could probably get more speed on a longer stretch of water, I was on less than a mile of water. I’m thrilled, thank you so much for your video.
thanks for info. we have a Mercury 22p aluminum prop. bravo 3 leg.
so you have two props then rite? bravo 3 is a dual prop drive .....those use stainless steel props.....not alum
Your exactly right, most people don't know about propeller performance. Most think just replace the prop that's there. Get the same one. I'm one of the most people. I have a pontoon with a 60 Johnson that will do exactly what you say, it's slipping. Gets up on rpm then motor winds up high and boat slows down. Just like a transmission slip in a car. I always thought the engine was set to high and still believe that may be part of the problem. However the prop does suck air. It looks to be the original prop that came on the engine. We got it at the very end of last season and so far this season we have had tornados and floods so not much lake weather just yet. I will be checking into the prop after seeing this video. Thanks for taking the time to post.
Thanks for taking the time to your share your video and knowledge with us.
It is really appreciated!
I have a 5 mtr. RIB with (x2) 40 hp Enduro outboard motors
(5500- 6000 rpm. max.), both have three blade props 11 3/8 x 12.
The Boats max load capacity is 1 ton and although I am no
way any where near that at all, it seems slightly heavy at the
transom, once she is loaded up with dive gear, since it is very sluggish,
to get up on the plane.
I am looking to increase the power, for towing applications, as
we are doing small salvage operations.
From what you were saying, it seems that a 4 Blade prop is the
way to go, but I have not seen any for this size of motor.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Kind Regards!
Very good video. Just for your information to Forged is the process of hammering a piece of red hot steel. As a blacksmith would hammer out a horse shoe.
Propellers are made in a foundry by melting aluminum or stainless steel and pouring it into a mold.
Many propellers and and hand guns are made in a molding process called loss the wax method or investment casting.
I'm sure there are videos on CZcams about this process.
Not trying to knit pick
A lot of people are confused with the difference between foundry an forge.
Once again thanks for the great video,
This is the absolute best presentation I have ever heard on the subject of choosing the right prop & pitch!!
I wish you had been my dealer several years ago... The two I dealt with did not have a clue... :( .. I had to learn the hard way which cost a lot of $$$$ & time. This was a commercial boat also... Which resulted in lost revenue before I finally figured it out myself.
Thank you again for this excellent video!!! :)
Having to allow for material stiffness between aluminium and stainless steel in selecting pitch is excellent information. Thank you.
thanks you
I have a 04 24ft sun tracker with a 90hp 2stroke the prop is destroyed on it I was wondering what you recommend
Great video thanks appreciate it. Going through this process in Oregon with my new boat now. Dealer put a Michigan ballistic 14.75 x 17 on my new Verado 225 with 5800-6400 max RPM specs. Trimmed correctly on initial run we had 5500 max RPM at 43 MPH. I put a Michigan Ballistic 15 x 15 on it and got it up to 5800 RPM. I finally took it to the dealer and had them and Mercury rep take it out for testing. Motor was running properly but they observed that the Verado was running to deep in the water at plane. They raised the motor 2" on the rail to second spot from the top and we went to 6150 RPM and 47 MPH. He also said that the dealer should have installed an OEM Mercury Enertia 15 x 15 prop as well, and that we will have even better performance.
He said Verados don't like to run low in the water. This is all new to me as a new retired boater, thankfully they are addressing it.
True, True, True.
Most often the motor goes in the second hole from the top and Mercury Enertia's are fabulous props
@@FamilymarineboatsMN I LIKE MY REV 4 SOOOOOOO MUCH. NEVER TRIED THE ENERTIA ON THE TRITOON.
@@FamilymarineboatsMN its a bit of a science the dealer needs to know his boats .....some hulls like the motor up a smidge some like it buried depends on the hull and the dealer needs to be familiar with these differences
Great video
Thank You
Nice!!!
Great video. Forged aluminum starts with aluminum cast into solid blocks, that are then forged by a massive hydraulic press. Then the final shape is CNC cut off the solid block. Forged aluminium is quite close to steel hardness.
CLOSE ONLY COUNTS IN HORSESHOES AND HAND GRENADES! STAINLESS IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE
I thought the video was well done for the most part but caught that as well. What he described was casting.
I have a 1989 bay liner walk around with a 200 hp xl mercury ,so which prop should I put on it
21ft 96 Wellcraft bow-rider/ 4.3 v6 Mercruiser alpha1, bought it with out a prop. I was gonna use it for up to 8 passengers. At the time I didn't know the motor was locked up, but be nice to know what the ideal prop is for it. Hopefully I can find another power-plant for the project.
Good information .It is so hard to get folks to understand the truth. Everything is a trade-off in regards to performance. Nailed it. Only caveat OEM Aluminum props are Cast (exactly what process is ??) Liquid metal into a mold is cast. Solid using thermal and mechanical is forged. Those cheap props ? Cheap cast pieces welded together , not sure what to call that. Besides junk.
I always looked at props in a very simple way diameter = torque, pitch - top end horsepower, but never knew aluminium flexed so much great video thanks
You made a good video :-)
