Replaced 21" pitch 3-blade with this 20" pitch 4-blade. Better performance out of the hole. Can stay on plane at 100rpm lower. Did not notice any degradation in top end performance either. I am happy with the switch to a 4-blade. Seems all positive to me.

The prop arrived in a well designed box, inside another box, very well protected. Easy to instal just removed the old one and put this new one in its place, tightened the nut down put the cotter pin back and ready to use. The performance was noticable right away, I bought the new prop with the exact same pitch and diameter as the one it was replacing so I didnt expect miracles, jut a longer life and cooler looking propeller, well the performance was actualy noticable, the boat come out of the hole faster, and planes a bit faster, on the top end, its not any faster (WOT) but at the same crusing RPM (4500) I did pick up about 1.25 MPH and the sound is a bit throatier, so thats cool also, all in all a good prop for a good price, very satifsfied with my purchase.

Great SS Prop that works very well with my Yamaha 150 2 stroke outboard motor. 21 pitch which has made a huge difference in ride of my Skeeter vs the 23 pitch I had.

Prop showed up fast, looks great. Replaced OEM aluminum w stainless, same pitch dia. Boat performs much better out of hole, fells like its on rails when turning! The boat has more "grip". Top end about the same. Extremely satisfied!

Haven't yet used the prop I'm in Iowa and my boat is in Texas. But I'm sure I'll be happy with it, as I've used Michigan Wheel props before.

Ordered both rotations of this propeller for my Pursuit ST310 powered with 300hp Yahama's. Ordered per instructions for non-OEM propeller provided on this website. Initially did do because they are about 60% the price of the OEM propellers. Don't waste your money. Buy the Yamaha propeller. These performed very poorly. Engine ran very rough and the exhaust porting is completely different and apparently much more restrictive than the OEM version. Used these about 30 minutes and replaced with OEM versions. That's $700 down the drain!

Mounted on Yamaha f200xb. Pushing fully loaded Kingfisher 2025 HHT to 48mph and offers limited slip. Expect prop chatter between 600 and 900 rpm.

I used the sizing chart to pick a new size prop for my boat. I fit perfectly ,was made very well and looked great. Hub kit was in box so I didn't have to order anything else. Shipping was very fast. Very good experience for first time customer.

Perfect prop for my Tracker Targa 18 with a 115 Mercury four stroke. Nice and smooth, comes out of the hole with power, no cavitation, great prop for the money!

After installing this prop on my 60 merc, I found that my top end was 4-5 mph faster than with old aluminum. Old prop was 100% shape with no wear, so it wasn't that it was damaged or old. Very pleased with the Mich Wheel, and it looks great on the motor too! Talked to Melissa when I ordered this, and she was very helpful on getting me the right one.

Went from a stainless steel 3 blade 19 pitch 14 3/4, to this 4 blade stainless steel 18 pitch and could not tell a difference. Hole shot didn't change at all.

Replaced a 21" Al with this 20" 4 blade. Better pull for a skier with no noticeable speed change.

Product arrived as scheduled and all the necessary hardware was included with it. Installation was easy and simple. After installing the new prop we actually gained 2 to 3 miles an hour with the same pitch. Couldn't be more satisfied.

i had the same size in aluminum, after switching to the Stainless my rpms dropped by 200 and speed may have increased slightly, its hard to tell. I should have lowered my pitch by 1.

A very good value. One small problem is the plastic ring (used on the front edge of the prop to compensate for the slight difference in the size of Mercs and yamaha lower units) craked when I tried to force it on. It still worked, and I was probably doing something wrong, I'm not the type of guy to read instructions. Other brands use a rubber band for this and I have found they sometimes twist up funny and come off so the stiffer plastic makes sense, it just cracked.

I was unsure at first but the install was straight forward pictures on directions of the thrust ring would have been nice but i tried it on way and it worked Putting the insert in and the new blade on was a snap, I will and do recommend iboats.com to my friends and that new prop looks good on my boat and the name on the side of the prop looks so cool.... that price is perfect looks are great and the performance enhancement it lowered my rpms for the same speed so that means it pushes more water at a lower rmp and that is fuel savings in my book .... thanks www.iboats.com

Prop shipped and arrived as agreed very quickly. I have used it one time so far and it has done exactly what I bought it for on my Sailfish 1900 Bay (a very heavy boat) with a Yamaha F115. It has increased my holeshot and boat now planes a couple seconds faster. Replaced stock 13 X 17 Yamaha black powder coated. I lost 1 to 2 mph at WOT which I was kind of expecting but the improved holeshot and quicker plane are well worth it. RPM's are running between 5800 and 6000 depending on trim and load. Nice looking, good performing prop for the money.

The blogs seemed to indicate I needed to revise to a smaller pitch. This was the same as original and when I switched the prop from OEM to SS I was able to pull up a 6'5" skier on one ski with both feet in with 5 people still in the boat! On WOT it revved to 3200 RPM, and got to 35 mph in about 5 seconds. Much quieter and smoother due to better boat performance and no vibration. Great purchased. I had to change the UPS delivery, as it got to the lakehouse before we did!

I bought this prop to replace a Piranha Composite 4 blade prop of the same pitch and diameter (14.5 X 16) which served me well over many years. The performance the the Stainless Apollo Prop was noticeably better with improved stern lift, acceleration and planing. The ability to maintain slow planing speeds (14-16 mph) was no problem and I gained a little more top end performance as well. This prop was $80 less here on iboats.com and an outstanding value for a Stainless Steel Prop.

This prop seems to be working out quite well. I am pleased to take the chance on ordering through an outlet that I had not had any experience with. I would recommend iboats to friends.

I am running a 175 Optimax on a 22’ Trophy W/A. I replaced a Solas Titan 15.25 X 17. The Apollo adds more bow lift thus better Top speed by + 2 mph and better RPM. Trim is much more responsive. I found that the large Diameter from either prop is great for mid-range cruising and fuel economy with great tracking and idle speeds. The large diameter does however sacrifice some top end but a reliable 47 mph is fine for this rig.

Fits and looks great. Runs true and I have noticed a huge improvement over the stock prop when pulling skiers and on the top end. Awesome product!!!! Highly recommend.

The only issue i have is that the nut kit that came with this prop has a washer that will not fit on the prop. with the washer on, there is not enough room to get the nut tightened down so that the cotter pin will fit.

I would not recommend this prop. It really hurt my top end, and there recommendation to drop an inch of pitch when going to a four blade prop was not correct for my boat either.

I called I boats and they said they did not know so then I called the maker and they said I needed an aftermarket trim tab to make the prop work. But I put in my outboard info and iboats said nothing about this

We recently purchased a stainless steel prop from iboats.com. It didn't fit my boat. My wife called iboats and was told that iboats does not accept returns from Canada. In this international economy, where global customer service is critical, I don't believe that this is an acceptable response.
