Default 17 1/2 X 29 Merc 4 Blades

I have a pair of 17.5 x 29 Mercury 4 Blades available. Labbed by Throttle Up, perfect condition.
These have the interchangeable bushing inserts which will fit #5's and #6's.

and single or pair; if single, which rotation?
I have quite a few singles in RH down to 16.75 x 25.5 (actual prop scan measurements)

Isn't there an adaptor available so you can run SSM#6 shaft props on the SSM#3 and SSM#5? Pretty sure there is.

There is a adapter for making the 1.88" bore into 1.75" in the bushing bore type propellers.
Therefore you can run #6 props on your 5 drive. The key is whether the prop shaft has 19 or 26 splines. You need 26.

If you find a propeller within 400 rpm either way of your desired rpm goal. We most likely can get you where you need to be.
