Changing the prop on my pontoon boat used for flats fishing. Boat has a 40 hp Evinrude with a three blade aluminum prop, 12 1/4 X 15 with RC stamped on it. Does the "RC" mean it is a "cupped" prop? It doesn't really looked cupped, but it is well worn. This is a 1989 motor and it still has the original prop on it. Do you need a "cupped" or "non-cupped" on a 20 ft Lowe Pontoon boat? The boat seems to be fairly heavy. Any advantage in "cupped" vs "non-cupped"? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Everyone seems to carry replacement aluminum props of the same size in both "cupped" and "non-cupped" for less than $100, so its just a matter of knowing which will push my barge better. Thanks.

Call Bellamy's in T'ville. He's got all the answers. 229-226-3267

My dad was calling him today. Dang, you're pretty smart there kid.


Did you have to rough up the bean counter??

He's gonna have to get back with me tomorrow. Says he can backdate it. I dunno. Doesn't look good. Guess the T-top will definitely have to wait.

Been there, done that, last year. The first time I had to write a check at the end of the year in a long time. That's why I don't have a new truck yet. That will change soon. And yesterday my dad was talking bigger boat - offshore instead of pontoon. I told him I'd go halves on a 19-22 footer.
