Default Which prop for my motor?

I am looking for a good deal on a 13 pitch 4 blade prop for my 2015 yamaha 60hp 4 stroke tiller with 13 spline shaft.

Anyone know of a good deal on a prop for my set up?

Look at a merc spitfire, not sure if the spline is right though, if it is grab one it's the best investment towards performance your going to find.......... amazing prop and very well priced!

I have found that engine manufacturer prop selectors can give you some excellent suggestions on the best prop to use for your setup and usage plans. Here is the one for Yamaha

kijji for a good price. If you are in Edmonton . There was a guy on the south side Custom Aluminum wielding .I believe he was called.
He was the supplier for props to all the boat shops in Edmonton.

Try Stu at Propmaster in Airdrie.

He is I think an SAWT sponsor so he may have a discount available.

I put a 4 blade 17 on my Yamaha 115 after smacking a rock with the factory 3 blade 17 and I lost 4-5mph on my top end and noticed zero change out of the hole. Bought my prop at Alberta marine think it was $178 for the new prop and the spline/hub kit.

I swapped to a spitfire 4 blade same pitch as the Blackmax 3 blade, plane time was cut in 1/2 if not more and I lost NO top end speed not to to mention my RPM's stayed the same at just under max. You may have a bent prop shaft, 4 blades = more cup and water grab that helps with lift and captivation on tight turns.
