Watersnake Replacement Propeller Kits

As described

I did reviews for each prop listed alone, but now 3 are listed together with common reviews as well as Q&A making some confusion. They all have a pin that you insert thru the shaft, slide on the prop, then tighten the "Nut" that clamps the prop between the pin and nut (but lets the shaft freely spin). They all come with the prop, pin, and nut. Including those little parts that can be very easy to lose is nice. So I'm going thru differences of each now.The smallest 2 blade "mini" fit T-18 and T-24 motors by Watersnake (kit 56001 is OEM number). FYI the numbers in the motor model like "18" means it gives 18 pounds thrust max (and if they include things like "SW" that means good for "Salt-Water" showing the ease of decoding them). It goes on a 5/16 shaft and the "Nut" goes on a M8-1.0 thread. The "Nut" is just plastic (nothing metal), so be careful with it where you may be able to easily over-tighten it and strip the threads.The bigger 2 blade fits motors in the 28 to 34 pound thrust range (kit 55131 is OEM number). It is made to ride on a 3/8 inch shaft and nut (which is 3/8-24 thread). The nut is a metal (brass) nut embedded in plastic. The outside diameter of the prop hub is 2.75 inches (made to go with a motor of the same dia)with the blades extending ~4.5 inches from the shaft center. It says on the package "Fits the following motors: T18 FWT28 FWT30 FWT34 ETW34", yet the T18 motor has a M8-1.0 thread (where the nut in this kit won't work on it). Also that T18 shaft is a bit smaller dia, so your very likely to have a "wobble" due to the prop not being centered if you try to use it there.The last is the 3 blade unit for motors 44-54 pound thrust (kit 55130 is OEM number). It also goes on a 3/8 shaft and has a 3/8-24 nut. It has a hub 3.5 inch dia with blades that extend 4.75 inch from shaft center.FYI there is also a kit 55008 for motors 70-105 pound thrust that is bigger (I show in picture), but not listed in this selection.Hope these help you see what fits your unit (or other OEMs if you want to try mismatches).

I was surprised when I opened the package and saw how much bigger it was than the original. I have the T245 24 lbs thrust. I was happy with the original just trolling around the mangroves but this one will really move my boat better in faster current.

Was looking for a replacement for a old trolling motor and this was as good as I could expect after finding that the model I have is no longer made. I use it on My pond work boat!

Good replacement.

Shameless plug but, Watersnake has one up on the USA competition... and I'm an American! Try one out if you haven't already, I'm on my FOURTH!

Great prop if you are in a lake with no hard cover, stumps or the like. First one lasted for 3 outings. Last trip out we hit a hidden stump and it snapped this plastic prop. I guess I should have expected that, given the material it’s made out of.Good buy for casual outings but not recommended if you’re going to use it for fishing in cover and where there are shallow, rocky bottoms.

It seems fairly flimsy but it gets the job done!
