[QUOTE="Allen, post: 175202, member: 389"] Right, ComProp makes a 10x13, not a 10.5" diameter. This is actually pretty common where a given manufacturer makes a series of props for a boat motor and they make the higher pitches in a slightly smaller diameter. I "think" it is to help them spin easier compared to a similar diameter prop that is a full 2 inches more in pitch. While a half inch difference is quite a bit in diameter, there is no reason why you can't use a 10" diameter prop if you were set on the 13" pitch. In other words, I don't know why a shop would tell you that you need to use a specific diameter prop. [/QUOTE]
