Rob, I take it you didn't use Delta (site sponsor) since they do take returns (great price too). Who was it? |

Delta doesn't take returns if you use it...I called and asked them that over the summer as there were a few different props I was considering.

Sadly, I bought this prop before I found CCFan.com or skidim.com.
It annoys me that most lessons learned come with a co$t... |

Sorry to hear that. One of the big reasons we sell and service OJ products. We will take a propeller back and get a customer into the right one,,,Usually the right one the first time. 1868 good for hopped up 2001 model SN's 82-89. Actually running one on our 09 6 liter.............comes out of the hole great! just kinda tops out quick!!! was a back up wheel. |

Hi JQ,
I'm considering the 1868 or a 654 for my 98 176, when I need a prop for altitude (5000") Why didn't the 1868 work for you? From what I've read the 1868 tops out pretty fast, but it seems like a better choice for altitude than the 654. Thanks, Don |

I typically operate around 4,400 feet. Occasionally I run at 6,500 feet. My engine is the High Output 351 and runs around 290 ponies.
With the 654 operating at 4,400 feet, I get 4,800 to 4,900 RPMs and 43 mph. However, at 6,500 feet, 4,700 to 4,800 is all the RPM I can squeeze out. Which engine does your 176 have? GT-40 engine? The GT-40 would turn the 654 nicely. I would expect that W-O-T should be right where PCM says max RPM should be. When I had the 1868 on the boat for 2 ski sets, I had to keep an eye on the tach so as to not over-rev the engine a bit. Hole-shot was outstanding -- so if you want killer hole-shot, the 1868 is pretty nice. Just watch the tach... Looking back, I should have kept the 1868 as my back-up prop. I don't typically run flat-out so over-revving wouldn't be all that big of a problem. JQ |

Hey I have a 1969 correct craft barracuda with the Ford 302 h/m do y’all have any suggestions on a good prop to run other than original?
