Anyone know what sort of prop this is??

[scott b]

Hi all. Just bought a 2nd hand prop off Ebay for my 99 superjet. It was advertised as a Skat Trak Freeride swirl 14/19.
Every other skat I've owned has some sort of marking on it. this one has none and not even sure if its stainless.
Have I been shafted by another Ebay scumbag??? :banghead:

Definitely not a swirl thats for sure. Looks like a stock prop to me. Maybe a stock blaster prop.

Looks like a skat, not a swirl though. I cant imagine it would be anything but stainless, skat trac impellers are usually not polished up. Unless somebody cast an impeller out of steel just for the reason of ripping people off, which seems highly unlikely, see if a magnet sticks to it.....pretty sure its not alum because the blades are not think enough.

 

[yamanube]

Yeah it could be stock too...

 

[yamanube]

I would report him to ebay because this is deffinitely NOT the product described...

Here is a stock blaster prop on ebay:

Looks pretty similar to me. :dunno:

that is not a scat prop. it looks to me like an old WR or blaster stock prop.

doesnt look like a stock blaster prop that I have. Maybe its a NuJet?????

 

[yamanube]

Nu-jet impellers are keyed for an impeller tool for removal.

That looks very similar to a 14.5/18 I have in the garage. It looks stainless to me. Put it on I bet it rips.

I'll go take a pic.

 

[MADMAT]

Nevermind I thought it looked like that but it comes off witha tool. I'm pretty sure I've seen good props that look like that though.

looks like a wr impeller(sorry.. i dont need it for my wr's ) yamaha's early ss impellers are usually mark'd somewhere..... whats the diameter???

Solas I'd guess made em for Yamaha under contract .

looks as thou some one did a back cut on the leading edge,(not factory wr)

 

[yamaslut]

it's definately stock yamaha... the POS that came out of my B1 looks exactly like that...

report him ASAP... It's not a skat

 

[WaveDemon]

I think it looks like a blaster prop too. I think I've got one in the garage. I'll look for that tonight.

 

[WaveDemon]

I've got a stock blaster prop in front of me.

It doesn't look the same. the snout is longer on yours and the leading edge is curved and the stocker is straight.

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Either way then we've established its definately not a skat swirl. :banghead:

I have contacted the seller explaining that I believe it is a stock (possibly) prop to give him a chance to sort something out. So far he has replied that he bought it as a skat swirl. Don't skat traks usually have some engraving with the pitch on them.

Looks like I'll be e-mailing Ebay in the morning.

Thanks again you guys rock :headbang:

 

[WaveDemon]

I do think it could be a skat. I've see scats look like stockers in the past.

I couldn't tell you what a swirl looks like though.

Just done the magnet test and its sticks, whats the mean then, presumably not stainless.
Underneath the prop in pic 2 its stamped 66E. Is that a stock Yamaha number ie 61x etc

 

[WaveDemon]

it's either aluminum or stainless. if a magnet stuck it's probably stainless with a high iron content.

 

[waxhead]

the stock blaster one prop is a skat trak
how ever i have seen a prop like that before it came out in a gp800

A friend was running it
it didnt seem to go to bad
