There is a 26-pitch Hydro for sale on the swap forum. It fits Bravos and TRS drive. I have a Bravo-1X. Will this fit? The Hydro is a solid hub prop. Any issues there? I am currently running a Bravo 1 26p prop. Any big differences between these two props? is any one better then the other?

If it's a Q-IV they are quite different. The Q-IV is a semicleaver and the B1 is a round ear prop. The Hydro has much more of a sternlifting caracter than the B1. Also, your stock B1 is actually a 25"ana-bit pitch, where as the Hydro is about 26". Whether one is better than the other, is simply a question about the application. In terms of quality, they are both good castings.
Why do you wish to change prop?

I do not really need a change. Hell, I haven't even had my new boat in the water yet!
Just looking for options to play with, and I want to have a spare prop. I believe in carrying spares at all times, and a prop is one of them. When you say "more stern lifting", how does that help exactly? I am coming from the slower sedan-bridge boating scene.

Yes it will fit. I may require additional attaching hardware.
It will take more trim to carry the bow.
I applaud your having a spare propeller.

Right now everything is new.
As the season progresses, we may have used stuff from the test prop program.
Thanks for the inquiry.
