F115 best prop?

[Indian Ocean]

What would be the best propeller for my brand new 2011 F115 In-Line four stroke considering that it will be mounted on a 19ft runabout and that will be used by 4 adults mainly for skiing?

Can I order this item from your website?

You can find what you need here:

Performance Bulletins | Yamaha Outboards

Probably a 17P, 19P max. The F115 has to be at the upper end of the rpm range at WOT or it will make oil.

Hi BaileysBoat,

Many thanks for your advice.

Hi,

Another couple of questions:

What would be the difference between 3 and 4 blades?

The aluminum (white painted) props seem to fit my budget, are these good enough vs the more expensive steel ones?

Thanks again!

Also, the 6E5-45945-01-00 mentioned in the performance bulletin link you mentioned seems to be designed to fit 150HP-300HP engines rather than 115HP according to a local seller?

Apologies to ask so many questions about props but I canīt still figure out whatīs best for my engine & boat.

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

here in sweden the F115 engine package include a Black steel prop,
i would say a 17" i the right if you usually go with 4 adults.
if you most of the time are going to use it for water sports, i would go for a 16-17" 4-blade(Turbo 2+2 is a good choice)

on my colleges Hydrolift T17, we use a ET lightening 26",
but thats another type of rigging

Many thanks to both of you, this has helped me a lot!
