"Okay, here's another pro

"Okay, here's another problem with my 1981 3.8L with 800. The prop I bought it with is pretty chewed up. Is it hard to change the prop myself with the manual, and what prop should I go with. this is a 14 1/4 X 17. Aluminum but different pitch? Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks for all the help."
 
"Go with stainless. The size a

"Go with stainless. The size and pitch look fine. But it all depends on what you want to do. If you want more top end or a better hole shot. I would look for a prop that is in the middle. Good performance and fuel economy. I have a 14 1/2 X17 stainless Stiletto prop. Check your engines WOT operating range. You want a prop that gets you in the range. A far as changing it, its simple unless you are also changing the hub. Not sure if that is complicated or not."
