nothing like finding stuff out the hard way. Here is the story of how I found the right hub kit combination for my mystery Yamaha F70. #whiteriverrambo #bowfishing #boatlife
Proptacular bud. Great info even if you cant pronounce Solas correctly. lol. Crazy how difficult it was to find the correct parts for such a popular motor.
Had that issue with my old Tohatsu and a Solas props. I had to send them a photo of my engine and details to get the correct hub kit and Thrust washer. They were good to send me the correct parts.
Dear Dustin great video, can I ask you how heavy your boat is. I also bought a F70 for my Yamarin 473 big ride (duo console) I think the combo incl all fishing gear and 2 persons weigh around 650/700KG what kind of prop can reccomment?
hello Dustin i need your help, i have 17 ft proline 1996 with f70 prop 13 5/8 - 14k when going myself the top speed around 30 but its takes alot time to get on plane, when going 2-3 people the boat going max 9mph and never on plane(( the prop calculator says that i need 12.8 - 21k but im not sure please help)
You have to much pitch & probably a overloaded boat. To gain holeshot & load carrying ability you must drop pitch & increase blade surface area either with diameter or a 4th blade. By your 13.625"×14⁰ prop explanation (assuming that's a 3 blade) I would look at finding a 13.75 x 12⁰ 3blade or a 13.5"×11⁰ 4 blade. You'll loose 3-4mph topend but it will gain everywhere else. Better holeshot, 3-400higher rpms, & better overall experience. I would also have a professional look at your outboard height, sometimes 1" can make a tremendous difference & most motors get mounted to low. Good luck! 👍
