Good Day all, I have a Beavertail Micro 16 W/ ETEC 30 I was hoping somebody has found a great SS prop for this setup. Currently have the stock Alum. 10.3 X 12 prop. Looking at a
Power tech SRA 10 X ??? to replace my Alum prop. Has anyone gone through the trial & errors
finding a good replacement SS prop. any and all feedback would be great.

What kind of numbers are you getting now? I just ordered my 30 etec tiller with elec start, tilt and trim. I am on the list for a Salt Marsh Heron, should be sometime near august. I am trying to gather some info ahead of time. That etec. A nice motor!

I have a 30 Etec on a Glades X tunnel, so completely different setup. My stock aluminum prop that came with the motor was the same as yours. I'd just talk to a prop guy and tell him what you are getting now and where you want to be. He can get you close enough on pitch to where he can tweak it from there on out until it gets dialed in just right.

I have two powertech props one is a heavily cupped SRA 3 11 pitch that Jack Foreman at Crossroads propeller did for me and the other is a stock SRA 4 13 pitch. They both give me upper 5000s in rpm. The 4 blades is a tad faster, but the 3 blade stays hooked up better so that is what stays on my motor.

I have 2018 Etec 30hp on a lt25
With the stock prop I run about 28 mph, but I am cavitating when I make any sort of turn. I purchased a Powertech sra3 10x13 and I am still cavitating. Let me know if you have anything that could help me out as well. Powertech has a warranty where you can return a prop within 30 days and they’ll give you another one but a different pitch I’m going to try the 10x15 and see what results I get
