Frequently Asked Questions
What does the '16x17' designation signify on this propeller?
The '16' indicates the propeller's diameter in inches, and the '17' denotes its pitch, also in inches. Pitch refers to the theoretical distance the propeller would move forward in one revolution.
How do I determine if a 16x17 pitch is correct for my outboard?
Consult your outboard motor's manual or a qualified marine technician. Proper propeller selection depends on engine horsepower, gear ratio, boat weight, and intended use to achieve optimal performance.
What are the benefits of a 3-blade propeller design?
A 3-blade propeller typically offers a good balance between acceleration, top-end speed, and efficiency, making it a versatile choice for many boating applications.
What material is the POLARIS PROPELLER USA, INC. 16x17 S3r Prop Sema made from?
This propeller is constructed from high-strength, marine-grade aluminum, chosen for its durability and resistance to marine elements.
How difficult is it to install this propeller?
Installation of a propeller is generally straightforward, rated at an InstallDifficulty of 1 out of 5, but it is recommended to consult your outboard's service manual or a professional to ensure correct torque specifications and proper seating.
