LH rotation Mercury Alpha-4 Prop.

4-Blade Aluminum prop, 15 x 16 (diameter x pitch)
(replaces a 3-blade aluminum 15x17 prop)

Hub installed, Hub hardware included.

Prop never used (I ordered the LH instead of standard rotation accidentally)

Note:  When I installed the proper rotation version of this prop, my cruising speed increased by 3 mph at the same rpms.  Note, I used the identical prop, only the correct rotation, versus the LH (single engine boat) for the below.  Your improvements to performance should be comparable:
Was: 18 mph @ 3,300 rpm
Now: 21 mph @ 3,300 rpm

Holeshot noticeably faster.

From the manufacturer's website:
"Alpha 4

The Alpha 4 aluminum propeller provides four-blade performance and acceleration at an affordable price. The Alpha 4 is an outstanding propeller for stern drive-powered runabouts, as well as cruisers. With an Alpha 4, your boat will get on plane quicker and stay on plane at lower speeds than with a comparable three-blade propeller. The Alpha 4 is also an excellent water sports prop.

  • Available in 16-, 18- and 20-pitch
  • Right-hand and left-hand rotation
  • Fits outboards (135hp and above), Alpha and Bravo One stern drives
  • Recommended for inline 4, V6- and V8-powered stern drives.

Mon, 30 Apr 2012

This short video, featuring designer Oskar Zieta, details the process and design possibilities behind products developed with FiDU (Freie Innendruck Umformung – "free internal pressure forming") technology. Zieta, a Polish designer, explains how the lightweight yet robust metal appears as a soft object yet when you touch it you realize that it is actually a hard metal. "Working with FIDU technology is similar to carving clay," Zieta explains.
