shannon 0 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I have a farr 6000 trailer yacht with a 1987 8 hp outboard on it can anyone recommend what type of prop is the most efficient?high thrust or standard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Kitty 145 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Do you want to push off a lee shore in 35 knots or go as fast as you can on flat water? High thrust does the former better, & IMHO that's when you really want something that works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 110 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Go for hi-thrust you are a displacement hull under power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chariot 165 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Hi thrust = less revs, more strain on engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 352 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 see if you can get 4 blade,they really bite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 36 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 If it were me I would look for high thrust as per Waikores comment, you may also get better fuel economy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eruptn 43 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Best modification you can make for a trailer yacht is get high thrust prop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
