40 HP Honda

[Hibbing]

I need to replace the prop on my 40 Honda and several people have recommended going to a 4 blade prop. Has anyone tried this and what are the advantages/disadvantages?

In general, a 4 blade prop will get better holeshot and intial take off than a 3 blade.

However, on a 40 hp motor I don't know that you're going to notice all the benefits, plus you may have a very hard time finding a 4 blade prop for a honda.
