Are Turning Point Props good?
It’s a good replacement, and the boat gets on plane much quicker. I believe we lost a couple MPH top speed from the original, but the trade-off is well worth it. The prop in this size and pitch makes our boat handle better and get a little better gas mileage also.
What happens when you spin a hub on a boat?
Once a hub is spun, there generally remains enough friction to operate at low RPM – sort of a “get home” mode. But, when RPM is increased, the engine revs with little or no boat acceleration because the prop begins to spin. A spun hub feels like a loss of power with excessive RPM.
Are prop hubs interchangeable?
You can buy propellers that use an interchangeable hub kit, or you can buy a prop with a pressed-in rubber hub kit. You’ll pay a little more the first time with the interchangeable version, but additional props can be bought for less without the hub later on, since the hub kit can be moved to a different prop.
Are Hustler propellers good?
The Three Blade Hustler is great for boaters looking to get the most top end out of their boat, and offer excellent bow lifting capabilities. Four blade props accelerate faster, exhibit stern lift, handle rough or following seas better, and maintain speed better as you load the boat down with gear or people.
Should prop spin freely neutral?
Your prop will rotate in one direction freely whether in forward or reverse. If it spins freely in both directions and was working fine before you changed the pump, your shift linkage is out of adjustment.
