Re: C17 in New Zealand.
The 60hp E-tec I've already got has an Aluminium prop already. I'll see how it performs first. I'm not sure what the pitch and size are to be honest, but I'll have a look sometime. Okay OWT I have the specs up for your 60HP ETEC and will wait for your initial test runs to see if you need to change ...
