Video of a rookie (me) changing a prop on a Mercury 75 HP 4-stroke (attached to a 2021 Princecraft Vectra 19 Pontoon), and some of the learnings along the way: prop selection, pitch, hub adapters, RPMs, tools needed, etc.
A Mercury 13.8-11p Spitfire prop was destroyed on a sandbar (rocks), and replaced with a Turning Point Propellers, Hustler Aluminum 4-blade (14-13p).

Thanks for documenting. Good information
How did the new prop work out?
That was great. Just what I needed, same exact thing happened to me. Thanks.
Where do I get adapter
Very well done instructional video, friend. There are several other videos on YT that skipped steps, or performed steps Off Camera, which leaves a novice having to search further for details (such as inserting the hub sleeve, greasing the splines before replacing the prop, etc…) You did not skip steps; you were thorough, did everything in front of the camera, and it's very much appreciated. The floating prop wrench was particularly good advice!! I'm having to do this job myself and a grateful for having found you. Happy boating and thanks again.
You have good knowledge for a rookie. I appreciate your attention to details. I am not a rookie boat owner, but have never carried a spare prop. Thanks to you, I will now. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and sharing it with us. Happy boating my friend.
Do you have a link to that prop? And is it faster than the one before?
