[Electric Boats] Re: Electric Conversion of Yamaha High Thrust Outboard?

 



Yamaha has the following props for their 9.9 Hi Thrust outboards:

11.75 X 12.25
11.75 X 11
11.75 X 9.25

They also have these for the 8 HP and I assume they will fit the 9.9:

11.75 X 7
11.75 X 5.75

So a wide range of pitches is available from 5.75" to 12.25"

I have not seen any aftermarket props such as Michigan Wheel or Solas available for these motors. If anyone knows of other props, please let me know.

Cheers!
