  • Prop Chatter/Water Chatter/Prop Noise?

    I asked this question already in a under a different topic and I am looking for some more input. So, I figured I would start a different post Thank you

    I have a 1996 C150 with a 14.25"x19 michigan raptor prop( w/ removeable hub). What prop can I put on my boat that will quiet this thing?
    It makes a intermittent clunkity - clunkity - clunk noise at idle , in gear, less than 1000 rpm's
    I have checked the following items so far:
    timing
    cable adjustments
    idle speed
    low speed mixture adj.
    carb sync
    complete lowerunit tear down insp. and reassemble
    No resolve as of yet.
    I dont have the owners manual does it specify a certain prop brand, material, size, etc...? I have never had the stock prop.
    Has anyone ever had this problem and what did you do about it?

    please help

    Adam,
    If you are looking for a new prop for that C150 (I have a C115) I will refer you to a prop expert there in your home state. He works for PowerTech and does a great job at prop selection.
    You can contact him at (email) marcus@ptprop.com.
    Tell him "Ken K" sent you.
    Even if you are not looking to buy a new prop right now, maybe he can tell you about the one you have - the noise you hear may be coming from it.
    Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img] ,
