This top-of-the-line propeller is designed for larger boats using larger engines, such as twin-engine offshore fishing boats. The Saltwater Series features a highly polished, larger diameter design. The aggressive rake angle and extra cupping on blades provide superior mid-range fuel efficiency, along with excellent anti-ventilation performance. To the offshore fisherman, this means improved cruising range and better handling in rough seas. Top engine response is maintained for excellent overall engine boats. These propellers will fit V6 engines from 150hp to 250hp (but are not normally recommended for the 150hp engines).
NOTE: Speed ranges vary for different models because of different engine operating ranges and different gear ratios. It is generally best to pick the lowest pitch propeller that produces engine speeds near the maximum engine speed ranges shown in your Owner's Manual. The propeller speed ranges shown are only a guide. More accurate information for a particular boat may often be obtained from the boat manufacturer directly or by visiting the Yamaha web site at www.yamaha-motor.com and checking out the Performance Bulletin section. The best way to select the best propeller for a particular boat and customer is by testing various propellers on the boat.
