That prop you have should be fine 3 x14 x 20 is a standard Suzuki size so it's only slightly bigger but depends on blade shape and area also. We find the engine heights make a big difference what prop are you running at the moment Cheers |

does 14 to 14 1/4 make much difference in area? |

Jake It really depends on the blade shape etc different brands have different blade shapes. Suzuki have just come out with new props and the same sizing are quite different in rev range vs the old props. When we do a new setup we change props out they Suzuki on prop exchange till we/the client is happy unfortunately you are in the having to buy prop game. I am on holiday at the moment will see what we have at work that might work for you to try when back next week Cheers Blair |

Yeah that sounds good and it's getting annoying now. DIDN'T do enough questioning for the PROP place on TM. The prop I purchased is in ok condition but doesnt fit. Must haVe been for an older 2 stroke and although spine fits good the hub is wrong and is not interchangeable. Darn. |

So if you drive around in shallows them think about the alloy softer metaled props, maybe more for divers versus off-shore trollers.
