Guys,
I have a 2000 40hp yamaha that I bought used and I need a new prop, probably will stay away from stainless unless someone has one for the right price.
I have a 16' polarcraft, semi-v, heavy boat.
What pitch, diameter of prop do I need, the old one doesn't have anything written on it?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

A positive additude may not fix all of your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worthwhile.
Since there are so many varibles that go into prop selection I would take the old prop to a prop shop and have them measure it. It probably can be rebuilt and save you a lot of money. Here is an excellent article on props. Although they talk about OMC props, it applies to all of them. http://boatfix.com/how/props.html

Check with Hydro Tech. (I think) They are a Yamaha dealer in MO somewhere. Be sure and not over picth it. Not a good hole shot and the motor will not make all the hp it should.
You can't buy an aftermarket prop almost for the price of a prop rebuilt. but if yo want to get it rebuilt. Check out Port City prop shop in Ft Smith AR.

Depending on where you are in it might be an option.

Mike, there used to be a guy on Highway 25 between Gordonville and Dutchtown. The last time I was out that way, I didn't see his sign up so I don't know if he is still there or not. Speck
