    prop change

    I have a Evinrude etec 225ho on my 2007 Champion , It has a 4 blade on it now. Was told 4 blades get better bite better in rough water. I do have a 3 blade that came with boat alos, Question is it dont have a regular prop nut right in clear view. It has a round cylinder on outside and that turns freely. Looks like a allen screw in middle of shaft. I never saw this on a motor. I have looked online and cannot seem to find a video on how to change my style of prop. Nother question by chnging out a 4 blade to a 3 blade will the speed of boat change much. ride different etc. ? thnx

    You need to find the key. Or take a good picture inside and they can sell you a new key
