Prop wanted: Turbo or Laser II - 21"

[Richard Lane]

Looking for a Turbo or Mercury Laser II 21 inch pitch for my 2002 Mercury 90/Tracker 185 Pro Team.

Laser II=48-16546A46. Let me know what you have and the price. Anybody have a recommendation or experience with these props? Do I have to change the thrust washer that came with my aluminum prop?

I think Michigan makes those for Cabelas....not sure though. I may consider that one too. Can you send me a couple of detailed photos? I have sent you a regular email too, btw.

Hmmm.....interesting. I tried a friend's Stiletto 21" and it made a nasty rattling in the motor (lower case?) at engagement and idle speed. Ran great though...much faster through out the power band but the torque was much worse than the aluminum. I get 44.4 mph on the GPS with the aluminum (just me, full of gas, and fishing load) but didn't check the Stiletto.

Anyway, he said I needed to switch to a different thrust washer for proper fit and function. I didn't want to fool with his prop anymore so I am here looking for a Mercury prop. I THOUGHT it being Mercury such problems would not be present. Now you tell me the Mercury Laser II will possibly do the same thing?

OH, thanks for the heads up.
