    For Sale - Hydromotive Prop

    I am digging through my various props and I have a Hydromotive 4 blade in very nice shape. The stamped data on the prop reads HC-CL23R..Q-IV OT. I'll get a better photo to post but PM me if you are interested.

    Thanks

    The most tenacious prop I've ever tried.
    I had a 22' or 23" on my Minx and I just bought a 26" for the TR.

    For an 18?

    How might this work on my 18 with alpha ss and being reported with a 406 500 hp? I know very little about propping.

    It would be an excellent choice for the Minx.

    A good choice for your Minx, but for your 18,
    you'd need 25"-27" pitch.

    As I posted earlier, my 18 OD is a SS and powered with a SBC Dart 406. Didn't have it dyno'd and probably running same HP as you. I chose a 25p and not more to avoid stressing od. I run mine very close to 6k, not sustained.

    I think Hydro made that prop for outboards. Years ago, I followed Rootsy post and I believe he ran an OT on his 16. There was a video of him running with another D at speeds N. of 70

    BTW, for your Alpha/SS, it'll need to have a rubber hub.

    An Alpha has no "give" in its drive components, so there needs to be something to let go in case of a grounding, or whatever. A hub is cheaper than gears and shafts.
    A Bravo has a cone clutch that can slip a bit under the same circumstances.
