Default Re: Prop for 250 2 stroke Yami

Absolutely stick with the stern-lifter. I suggest the 15.5"D x 17"P Mirage Plus or the 15.25"D x 17"P SWS Yammie, or the 4-blade 15.25X17 PowerTech UN200. All have heavy blades, and near-circumferential cupping, which is good to have in rough water, or when nearly surfacing the prop. The Mirage is about $500, the Yamaha is about $25 less, and the PowerTech is about $675.

Michigan makes a SS 4 blade stern-lifter in a 14.375"D X 18"P that lists for about $300 I don't know how well it compares to the others, though.

Dink - Use ebay or swap with someone else on THT.

Dink - the best option would be a factory original but any "good" prop shop can usually change the pitch of a S.S. prop by one step (2") either direction (higher or lower)..

I have had pitch changes made on several props and worked find..

Good luck..

You'll probably make some money switching from that prop to a 17 mirage plus on ebay . . . Just thinking out loud.

No. You can repitch a SS prop no more than 1/2" without seriously weakening the blades.
