I am new to the mud motor world and love it so far. I recently bought a 24 hp beavertail longtail. Put on my 14/36. The prop is def worn out. Beavertail web site says I need a 9x7. Everywhere else I check calls for a 9x6. Which route should I go? Any help with this would be much appreciated.

That depends on load and boat size id go 9x6 so u dont bog down the motor jmo

That's what I'm prob gonna go with. It's on a 14/36. The prop that is on there is worn out. It only measures 7 1/4

I will probably go with the 9x6. The prop that is on there is worn out. It only measures 7 1/4 across. It probably has never been changed. Guy I got it from did nothing to it and knew nothing about it. Just used it for duck season

I will prob go with the 9x6. One that is on there only measures 7 1/4 across and is seized on there. Thank for the help guys.

I agree, I'd go with a 9x7 on that small of a boat too

Will it push me faster?

It will get you farther per prop rotation. Basically if you can turn it the same RPM, you'll be faster. If you're prop is worn as badly as you say it is, get a new one of stock size so you have a base line before you try changing the prop up.

Thanks man. Prob gonna try the 9x7 first. I have to replace the shaft to. Lost the key way and it spun in the yoke and gnarled the end pretty good.

oh ok would u want a hill prop itll be cheaper than the mb prop i can quote u on one

Yeah

Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Is there a difference in the two props?

Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Yea the mud buddy is the best bet for lasting and a good mud prop

the hill will be around 20_30 cheaper on the 9x7 and 40_50 cheaper on the 9x6 not sure y they have such a price difference but they do. And they noe the hottest for a lasting prop but they are good.

Will the mud buddy work on the Beavertail?

Right on. It's 3/4-10 threads. I probably want whatever would last the longest. How long does one generally last under normal use?

Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

The mb would be about your best bet they last the longets I find.

Right on.
