Hello,

I made the conscious decision to purchase a solid hub 23P Quicksilver prop for my 454MAG, Bravo 1. Im starting to think the other 23 P Quicksilver Mirage prop I had was modified and not getting me in the rpm range I wanted. Stamped with an "FB" before part #.

My main concern is I do not have a thrust washer for the "new" solid hub prop (48 13246 A5 23P). The hub part is of a smaller diameter than my other prop (48 13704 A41 23P). I put the solid hub prop on the drive for poops and giggles and it fits great without any washer.

I was able to tighten it down without issue, but I didnt drop her in the water. So do I need a thrust washer for it?



Thanks

Yes you do.
It may be already on the prop. Remove it and look.
Here is a link to the part you need available on our wed site.

Got it. It wasn't on the prop but a local prop shop luckily had the one I needed.

I ran the solid hub at 65.5mph @ 4800 rpm. Looking to get another 200-300 out of it.

You can send it to us for Lab work and we can get the 200 rpm you need.

Thats the plan good sir.

Ive been emailing you and will send this in soon once I get all the rpm parameters filled out.
