Re: Lm18 tohatsu 50hp prop recommend

Did you go three or four blade? In turns, and running shallow, my switch to a four blade was a game change.

It’s feels fast but the boat is very stable and it runs perfectly straight with no tendency to pull left or right at all. I have the Bennett spring loaded tabs on the back and there is zero porpoising instantly planes off

Re: Lm18 tohatsu 50hp prop recommend

Thanks 👍🏻

I haven’t put it on a scale yet so I don’t know the exact weight. But your recommendation is in line with what I’ve read on the micro skiff forum. 11.1 x 14 is what others have used on similar boats. I figured I’d start there and with aluminum before I invest in a stainless prop.

Lm18 tohatsu 50hp prop recommend

I’ve got a new tohatsu 50hp short shaft to repower my lm18 ( had a 30hp Suzuki )

Any recommendations on which prop to start with? The tohatsu doesn’t come from the factory with a prop.
