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 an aluminum 3 blade, I wanted to start there before investing in a stainless or 4 blade. The prop is fine but the engine is sitting a little high the cav plate is almost 2in above the bo...

Re: Lm18 tohatsu 50hp prop recommend
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.

Re: Mounting trolling motor
I’d square the front transom if it were me, and make or buy an aluminum bracket similar to what’s on a lot of aluminum boats with trolling motors. Everything I’ve built has had a flush deck though. So no real advice or pictures.
