New 200A

Hello, first time here. When you buy a new motor like a 200A is the propeller included in the box? or does the dealer charge? or do they fit one to the boat{included in price?) THANKS.

For many years, props have not been included “in the box” for most brands of outboard for the simple reason that the prop has to be matched to the boat, load and intended application. There are too many variables and too many spe******t requirements. And too much variation in price to include them as standard.

When you talk to dealers about quotes, ask them to include the price of selecting and swapping a prop for the type of use you have in mind and the prop material that you want eg specify brand of prop and alloy or stainless, and the model if you know.

Talk to them about your boat and what conditions you use it in. Good dealers will have experience to recommend a suitable prop. But I would still add a proviso to the agreement - that the prop fitted meets YOUR requirements and the dealer agrees to test it with you on board to make sure you are satisfied with how it performs.


The Suzuki Water grip stainless steel props are developing a great reputation so would be worth considering.
