17M2 ¾ 13 Propeller

Product description

The 13 ¾ × 17-M2 propeller, with a three-blade design, long pitch, and durable stainless steel material, offers you a combination of high cruising speed, sufficient acceleration, and exceptional durability in corrosive marine environments. If you are looking for a significant upgrade for your 150–200 HP boat, this model is a reliable choice for heavy-load commercial or fast recreational operations.

Product Summary

1. The 13 ¾ × 17-M2 propeller is designed for Yamaha 150 to 200 HP engines and delivers a balanced performance between acceleration and cruising speed on heavy-load commercial and fast recreational boats.
2. The 13 ¾ inch diameter and 17-M2 pitch mean higher top speeds (up to 45 mph) while maintaining mid-range thrust; ideal for fast water taxis, passenger tours, and long operations.
3. The propeller comes in a stainless steel version, coated with a dual-layer epoxy for resistance against saltwater corrosion.
4. The recommended operating RPM range is 2500–3000 rpm and it operates without cavitation up to 5500 rpm, keeping the engine in the peak power zone.
5. Factory tests at speeds of 35–45 mph for the steel version recorded up to 8% fuel savings compared to similarly sized 15-Pitch aluminum propellers.

Torque
● The stainless steel three-blade propeller with reinforced hub, despite the longer 17-M2 pitch, produces up to 175 N·m of useful torque at low RPM (200 HP engine)—enough to get a heavy boat out of the water without cavitation.

● 12° rake combined with adaptive camber creates a smooth spiral water flow and reduces energy loss by up to 7% compared to standard three-blade props.
 
Horsepower Utilisation
● The 17-M2 pitch keeps the engine in the 4900–5400 rpm range (peak power), resulting in higher top speed and optimized fuel consumption at cruise.

● At steady 40 mph with a 150 HP engine, fuel consumption recorded was 11.0 L/h for the stainless steel version and 12.3 L/h for the aluminum version.

● No vibrations or cavitation observed up to the maximum rated RPM in calm sea conditions.
 
Flexibility
● Stainless steel: yield strength 790 MPa and 14% elasticity; resists bending or cracking under moderate impacts.

● Hybrid-Resin hub with rubber bush absorbs up to 60% torsional shock, protecting the gearbox.
 
Durability
● Dual-layer epoxy coating (both versions) ensures ASTM B117 salt fog resistance for up to 800 hours.

● 150 hours continuous test at 5000 rpm showed no significant changes in pitch or cracks.
