I'm getting some conflicting info on the props for these 2 great little
engines. Does a prop come standard with the 25 and 30 or is that an
extra cost item. I will most likely be buying an E30DTEL or E30DTL, to be used on a Lund SSV 16 which is a 16' Aluminum fishing boat 72" beam
about 350lbs with the 20" transom. If the prop is not standard any
advice would be helpful, most likely will just go aluminum 3 blade
I guess I will need 2 props 1 for here where I live in Colorado (5,280 FT)
elevation and one for when I use the boat at lower elevations like sea level
which I also do. Boat to be used just for fishing and river/lake cruising 2 possibly 3 people no towing of tubes I just want the best top end and
general usage props. Also is it a big deal to hook up a mounted tach to this engine to make sure my WOT is right.
Thankyou Coastalguy

Props come with them but a good dealer will assist you in selecting the correct props for your needs. Just don't beat him to death on pricing. |

Hi, different parts of the world have different policies and here in OZ the 25/30HP come STD with an alloy prop in the box. Above that we fit SST props. I would guess you are the same and there will be a prop on the engine when unpacked, but as for the right one or best one that is another matter and considering where you are I think you are right and when at altitude a different prop maybe required.
As for the Tacho, here again we get a tacho in the engine box so you could/should also but either way you need a tacho not just for RPM, but more importantly, for the warnings and the dealer should know this.
Cheers,
Huey.
