Federal 13 x 13 prop

Stock prop from my '84 Nautique 2001 for sale. I upgraded to an Acme 542 and then sold the boat. Hung onto this one hoping to use it as a spare for a future boat. Doesn't look like the future boat is going to happen.

This prop ran smoothly, no dings, in great shape. Will ship anywhere in continental US. Asking $125. Thanks for looking!

Hello,

I am running a 12" x 13 Federal prop RH 1" shaft. I recently had to install my spare, so I am looking for another backup. I don't see any reason why I couldn't use your prop. I have the clearance for the extra inch of diameter.

Hi Justin,

Per this thread:


86 Martinque best prop

It looks like a 13" prop should be fine on your Martinique. I am not familiar with your boat, but on that thread I see some of our most experienced forum members recommending a 13" prop. (They also believe 13 x 13 was possibly stock.) I am surprised that your boat would have a 12" prop installed, being a little heavier than a 2001 of the same vintage. I would think you would get better performance out of the hole with a 13" diameter. 13" dia x 12 pitch makes more sense to me, but I am not as experienced as some here.

That being said, my first Nautique was a Ski Tique, which someone had installed a 13 x 13 prop on. Those smaller boats were definitely designed for a 12" diameter prop, and mine clearly had some hull rash from the 13".

Anyway, the prop is still available - let me know if you are still interested.

Thanks,
Tom

Sold! Thanks, Justin.
