Anyone have a prop???

[mickeyfinn]

Looking for a 11 x 15 prop 1" shaft for my Hondo. Anyone have anything laying around?

[ssmike]

Hey Mick,
I have something close to that...I will need to go check it out and get back to you??
2 blade?
LH rotation?

[mickeyfinn]

This may sound stupid but I am not sure yet which rotation it needs. The old bronze or brass whatever it is prop is still on the boat. I have the drive pulled and am getting ready to sit the engine back in. I am going to change the gears and put in a new prop. Is LH pretty much standard for a v-drive?

[GofastRacer]

Which way is your motor facing?, the prop turns the opposite direction of the motor!. :)

That will "jest" about tell us!!!

[mickeyfinn]

It is a 1974 Hondo.

Do you drive the motor off of the flywheel or the balancer side??
I would bet that you drive off of the flywheel - that means you are "drag boat style" and need a LH rotation prop.

Look on the hub of the prop, some have it stamped left or right

[mickeyfinn]

I do drive off of the flywheel.

Driving off the flywheel will make it a left hand prop. I asked on your "lies" thread is this a day cruiser style hull? 11 inch diameter sounds sorta small, maybe 11 1/2 or 11 3/4. Do you want a 2 blade or 3 blade ? How much overdrive do you have ?

[mickeyfinn]

Well I'm going by the info I got there. I looking for a set of 15's and I guess I just missed the 11.5 part. So let me change that to Does anyone have an 11.5 x 15 prop....Thanks for setting me straight. Oh it is not a daycruiser. It is a flattie with enough room for 2 seats and an engine.

Now I'm confused, on your "lies" thread you said your boat was 21er, but on your "interior" thread you say you want seats for a flattie. Do you have 2 Hondo's? The prop and gear requirements may be a little different for a flat bottom and a cruiser style hull. Just trying to get enough information to give a sensible recommendation.

[mickeyfinn]

The registration says 21. When I bought the boat that is all I got was that and a bill of sale. Since someone in the other thread asked the question I measured it and it is closer to 18'. So here is what I think I have. An 18 foot Hondo flat. driven off of the flywheel. I'm installing a 402. Based on advice from the other thread I am looking for a set of 15 gears and an 11.5 x 15 prop. The number on the V-drive is 62500-2 if that is the number that matters.

The number on the v-drive [62500] does indeed mean something, it means you have a 12deg. gearbox and is important when you buy gears.

I think my LH prop is an 11 1/4 x 15.......
Please let me know if you're interested

Finally was able to look at the prop on the boat. It is a brass? or bronze? prop. The only number I can pick up is a 12. I assume that is the pitch. I am pretty sure no other number is there. How do I measure to get the prop diameter. It looks like it is probably smaller than 11" if I measure it. This boat would absolutely jump up on to plane before and would get to max rpm in no time. This time I would like some extra speed. The gearbox appears to be close to 15% based on rotating the input shaft and watching the output. Would a 12 pitch have given me MAJOR hole shot and seriously impaired top end?

Would a 12 pitch have given me MAJOR hole shot and seriously impaired top end? Yes it would, but I doubt it's a 12 pitch. That's more for a tug boat than a v-drive :D The "12" is probably the original diameter of the prop. If it's a 2 blade just measure across the blades to determine the diameter. If it's a 3 blade measure from the center of the bore to the tip of any blade and multiply by 2... TO determine if it's left or right hand rotation just set it on a flat surface. Is the leading edge (lowest part of the blade) on the left or the right? If it's to the left it's left hand rotation... Simple.

i have an 11\16 two blade flatbottom prop that was only used for half a season, like new, $350 :cool:

[mickeyfinn]

Is that prop for a 1" shaft?

[HYDROJEFF82]

YES IT IS 1" :D :D

I am interested in your prop. I will send you an email in a while. It may take a couple of weeks as I get closer to getting ready to get it in the water. Will probably put it in with the prop that is on it to check everything out. Make sure the engine doesn't take a dump on me as soon as I hit the water.

[VD CRUISER]

Take it easy with that bronze prop. They're not made for high RPM, and it makes a big mess when a blade comes off.
