before you go choppin the guts out of it...try it standard...i use this prop on my 48 inch mono.. standard zen ...qd steel pipe...and its the best prop i have used i have used other props with less succes...using this prop solved the rear of my boat skippin in the turns..keeps my boat in a straight lins...i am not fighting the wheel..and although my boat is not the fastest it is one of the most consistant winners...so before you chop it up give it a go....bob
