Props

Post by next exit »

Last year I installed GPXR 9.9's and found that I had less speed then before even after shimming up the motors. Checking this year I see that the prop pitch is 7" vs 91/4 for the older motors. Has anyone changed props to the higher pitch and if so, where did you buy them?

I measured some old props (13 and 15 years) and found they were all 7 1/2-inch pitch.

Interesting. The 2002/3 models were the higher pitch
