Nice looking prop but it won't slide on the shaft all the way. I am going to have to hone out the bushing a bit to get it to work. Other than that nice product and very quick delivery to my house.

This 7.8x7 prop is one size smaller than.the recommend 7.8x8 for my Mercury 4stroke. This is a perfect fit on my HEAVY , overloaded jonboat. The smaller size helped bring my r.p.m.s back up to an acceptable range. A very well made product ,supplied in a timely manner. James W.

Had to re-machine the prop's bore to fit the shaft on my outboard motor. Was tapered from +.008 " diameter on both ends to -.004" diameter at center. My e-mail to Iboat's service department got no response at all. I won't bother trying again.

Prop delivered was 9.9 inch diameter by 11 inch pitch. Close but not what I ordered. Was stated to be factory replacement but isn't. It is just a bit slower but it will have to do as a back-up.

The shipping and the price were very good. But, the product machining is off. The lip that fits inside the prop housing is thicker than the opening. It drags on the housing. The machined end of the inside side of the prop is too deep.

This prop has brought my motor to live again. Factory prop was beat up and worn out. After replacing with this prop my motor has more power and great hold on the water. I bought the lock nut that goes with it but did not need it, as I just used my factory nut that was already in use and good condition. I have keep this nut to use for a back up.

I purchased this prop for my 2014 9.9HP Mercury ProKicker. It fit/looks exactly like the original prop. On an 1875 Lund Impact I can get down to 1.0 MPH. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anybody trying to troll very slow.

I was kind of disappointed to find out that the drive adapter that engages my drive pin was pressed in too far. The end of it extended past the propeller about a quarter of an inch. When I first received it I couldn't get my propeller nut on far enough to insert the cotter pin. That's where a hammer and a two by four came in handy. I had to bang the centerpiece in about a quarter of an inch before I could attach it properly to my propeller shaft using the cotter pin. Once I got it on the water though, the propeller worked fine.

I purchased this 2 blade 9 pitch propeller to replace the 3 blade 7 pitch prop that was on my 9.8 HP Mercury outboard. The 7 pitch prop worked ok but I was looking for just a little more speed and a little lower RPM for my light weight 1436 jon boat. With all loading and trim settings being the same, speed increased from 17 MPH to 20 MPH and RPM's dropped from 5500 to 5100 (wide open throttle) which was exactly what I was wanting.

Was running a 9"x10" pitch prop that came o my duck boat with Johnson 25. When I checked my WOT RPM I was at the top of the RPM range. This 9 1/4" X 11" pitch put me right in the middle of the recommended RPM range and I picked up about 4-5 MPH! Just what I needed!

I was very disappointed with this purchase. The prop itself was probably OK but there was no information with it regarding proper installation. I swapped it part for part with the old prop and tried using it. A few minutes of running and there was a terrible mechanical noise, we shut it off and returned to shore. I found that the backside of the prop had become chewed as well as the mating face on the outboard. I called customer service and was told it was because of a missing thrust washer. There wasn't a thrust washer behind the OEM prop that I replaced so how would I know that it needed one? There should have been a note with the new prop alerting the installer that a thrust washer was required. Customer Service was NOT helpful with my dilemma. I would not buy from iboats.com again.

Have not had a chance to use this prop yet but I can say that "It was delivered in perfect condition, in a timely manor and at a very reasonable price". I only wish that it came with the accessories like the shear pin, shaft nut and cap. Other than all that, I can't wait to get out on the lake and try this puppy out but then again it looks so nice I would hate to damage this one.

I am very impressed with iboats promptness and great customer service. I had broken the blades off of my existing prop during right after Christmas duck hunting. We still had a week left in the season and I needed a prop fast. Iboats came through quickly. They had the prop in inventory and was able to deliver in a couple of days compared to everyone else I had checked which gave me a 2 to 3 week delivery date. I highly recommend Iboats!

I got this prop for my Yamaha 25hp 2-stroke outboard. The prop I received was NOT the described 9 7/8" x 10 1/2" prop. The prop that was in the Quicksilver box was a 9.9 x 10" prop EXACTLY like the Solas 9.9 x 10 prop I already owned. I put the props side by side they were identical except the Quicksilver prop was black. So I sent the prop back and got a Michigan prop instead. Apparently Quicksilver did a running change and switched to a 9.9 x 10" prop which they claim will perform identical to the 9 7/8" x 10 1/2" prop which is a lie. Don't bother with this prop, spend much less and get a Solas prop which is what the Quicksilver prop is.(A price gouged black Solas prop) The quality of the prop was excellent. I gave it a 3 because of the mismarked diameter and pitch. Plus it ticks me off when a company just repackages another companies product and mark the price up 30+%.
