I shall ask this question on this forum as i know there many people here who know more
about props than i would ever hope to know.
to some it might be a silly question, but i realy dont know much about race props or cleavers.


I have a chance of getting a prop with the solid type hub. (never had one of these before)

Is ther anything stopping me using this type of prop rather than a thru prop exhaust ?

Will a stainless cleaver type prop omc No.387058 be ok to use with a 60hp evinrude 1995 ?
The size of prop is 12.5 x 23 inch cleaver, made of stainless steel.

what is the down side of using a prop like this if not raising the engine very high ?

Do i need to make the exhaust exit before the prop ??????

i dont realy want to cut into the exhaust if at all possible.
or is this a must for this type of prop.


at the moment i run a stainless 13x 19 and the motor revs to the limit instantly,so i know i
can go up a couple of inches, and this prop could be what i need (i hope ) to go quick.

i am going to be getting bigger carbs to make it a 70hp as well.



sorry to sound ignorant on a race forum ,but ive never delved into race type props before.



phill.
