Ok , the one on the left is ali.
As for pitch ??? The stainless one is pretty swept back.
How'd I go ????

[saurian]

Crackerjack , me thinks 19 pitch on the right ( stainless) and 15/17 pitch ali on the left.
Sorry to post twice but got me going...???

[FNQCairns]

Yep I am with Ta :) above, heaps of rake in the SS prop, is it a tempest? if not what merc props are they?

cheers fnq

[FNQCairns]

I will post twice also, suspect both have same pitch.

cheers fnq

[Mercury16]

in the second pick they are swapped around, so do you mean the left one in the 1st pic?

[FNQCairns]

Right on last pic is SS for my guess.

[saurian]

Crackerjack how many cans have you had ?????
Thanks merc 16 , I think I havn't had enough cans now...
I think it is the 2nd picture, yes 2nd picture is the one I judged it off.
Crackerjack you are just a mongrel at times....

Daz

[saurian]

Crackers , don't you mean first picture ????
I'm sure ????
Sounds like you 2 are ganging up on me now ...????
Ta

[FNQCairns]

Think one has an exhaust ring/flare, I am too poor to test such lovely boat bit's, would be great to hear how they stack up against each other, never seen the new ultra thin alloy props in the flesh.

cheers fnq

[saurian]

So crackers , you bought 2 props and you have to ask thanks as to why one has a bigger exhaust outlet ?????
FNQ, ultra thin ???
Wouldn't it flex to much under load ?????
Ta

[Wahoo]

no, motor comes standed with a S/S prop, Merc was not happy with the WOT rpms, 5750
so we just change the props till we are all happy,. these props are up grades from the standred S/S prop i will have to give one back, the Enertia X7 is 4 times more durable and 30 % stronger than conventional S/S

[saurian]

Sounds like alloy is progressing , how do they make it thinner and stronger ???
Seems to defy logic ..

not sure,


ENERTIA

Designed for both outboard- and sterndrive-powered boats, the Enertia is cast from Mercury’s X7 Alloy. According to Mercury engineers, it’s four times more durable and 30 percent stronger than conventional stainless steel. The stronger metal allows for a prop with thinner blades and higher rake angles, which increases speed and fuel efficiency during acceleration and at top speeds. Mercury says that using this prop can be equivalent to adding an additional 30 hp. Enertia is available in 1-inch pitch increments from 14 to 22 inches in standard rotation. And, counter-rotation models are available in 15-, 17-, 19- and 21-inch pitches to fit many twin- and triple-engine boats.

Cracker,
Do you own that Verado?

[Wahoo]

Cracker,
Do you own that Verado?
the one in my avatar??


yes ;D


Daz

[Mercury16]

BLIMEY!, are you serious!
what a machine, thats somthing to be proud of.
cheers Pete

[saurian]

If the 30 hp applies to 90 hp donks I think I had better buy myself a pair..
How many million as fnq has bailed already...
I havn't ( note) got 2 verados so how many kilo's of prawns is one worth ???
Ta

[FNQCairns]

Saurian, I dunno what it is made of, daz's post is about the limit of my knowledge on them, considering the price of good props and mercury makes VERY good prop's it could contain titanium for all I know:(

cheers fnq

[revs57]

ahahhahahahahhaha

[Spaniard_King]

Daz,

how much for the new Enertia??

cheers

Garry

[Wahoo]

Daz,

cheers

Garry


Hi Garry, im not to sure on the outright price on this prop, when i brought the Verado it comes standard with a Vengeance ( POS ) so i upgraded to the Laser ll for an extra $50, then i upgraded again to this one, again for an extra $50
what i like about the Enertia is they step up in 1" increments

if your looking for propping your new boat, ( not long now;D ) it would also pay looking at the Tempest plus props,
i have read good reviews on this prop also




cheers
Daz

[FNQCairns]

Daz who do I talk to? a $100 dollar upgrade from my SS Yam prop for an enertia sounds good, don't have to be in some sort of club or the like do I?:)

cheers fnq
