Props

Where’s the best place to buy props online? Looking for a 14.5 x28P Suzuki Prop.

I'm not sure. I ordered a prop from Mark Croxton. He will let you send it back if it isn't right. I won't buy any prop from a place that won't let me return it after testing.

I don't know if he sells the Suzuki props.

I used Hustler Motor Sports. They were the cheapest I could find. I just ordered a 14.5 x 27 pitch 3 blade. It is a Suzuki prop.

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to find the best prices online through Browns Point Marine Services.

Order and received new prop. I just got done tightening the nut and looked down to see the diameter is listed as 14-3/8” and not 14.5”. I am pretty sure that the prop i ordered should have been 14.5. Pissed off at the moment over this deal and beginning to question my purchase of a suzuki motor. Too much BS that doesn’t exist with Evinrude, Yamaha and Mercury.

Diameters go up and down slightly with the pitch numbers. See how the prop performs and let us know.

Suzuki motors are different animals with their planetary gears in the driveshaft. Not every shop is used to setting them up.

Who did you order it through? Here are a few places that sell them specifically for the 250SS.

BTW, there's BS with every outboard. Last summer when I was deciding to repower, it was hard as heck to get a prop or even a Yamaha 250 SHO for awhile. I would've got another Mercury PRO XS, but the dealer was backed logged for repairs and would've waited for over a month to get repowered. My buddy who has an ETEC G2 can't get his wireless hotfoot to work correctly. Mercury, just go read the sections on here with the issues people are having to include crazy maintenance like cleaning the compressor strainer to the thermostats. I understand your frustration, but it could be worse.

+100. These motors have a great reputation. You will get the right prop and be glad when it is all said and done.

Of all the posts I have seen on this forum I am yet to see anyone post decent speeds with their current set up. Pretty concerning really.

I've touched 71-72 with my boat and could probably be closer to +74 if I didn't have a Gorilla Hull on my boat in my opinion. Suzuki has never been known for their top end speeds, and the same can be said for Honda. The few pros that I've chatted with who run Suzuki's and Bass Cat's are running mid 70's compared to guys who run Mercury's/Yamaha's are getting upper 70's. I understand your frustration and doubting your repower choice and I sometimes wished that I would've waited for the new Mercury 4 Stroke to come out. However, the Suzuki is a pretty reliable outboard and I wanted a reliable outboard since I don't plan on purchasing a new boat in a long time.

I have the prop you want. I bought a Suzuki for my triton and that prop was way too much. Pm me if interested
