I have just ordered two wooden Props for my Fresh Breeze solo 210. I think it is the 12kw (16hp) version as it has the tuned pipe. I believe that there is a 20hp version too. I need to know which power motor I have.
Does anyone happen to know the differences and how I tell the power?
Has anyone replaced the carbon 'Scimitar' with a wooden prop and have any advice?
I would be grateful for any advice.

I have just ordered two from DT Props for my Fresh Breeze solo 210. I think it is the 12kw (16hp) version as it has the tuned pipe. I believe that there is a 20hp version too. DT say it is important to know which I have. Do you happen to know the differences and how I tell the power?

Thanks for that Alan. That gives me more confidence. The Fresh Breeze manuals state the 12kw too. It was only during internet searching that I saw solo 210 airboss with 20hp advertised.

Confused me a bit. I also read that the larger head size that only Fresh Breeze do increased HP too and guessed that maybe:
standard: 14HP
tuned exhaust: 16HP
Tuned with large head: 20HP
Manual states 8-12KW which does confuse things further!
The standard quote from some Fresh Breeze dealers is that only the manufacturers prop should be used or "serious damage could occur". I guess thats got an element of truth if you put just any old prop on but a decent aftermarket prop producer would have a computerised designer that would make a prop based on the HP, revs and length of the original. It obviously helps sell their own replacements too by saying that but as you said, when you can get 3 for the price of one.......!
Thanks for your advise. I will tell D&T what you said ref the pitch and that it's 12kw, 20mm mount hole and six M6 x 50 mounting holes. (which I am 99% sure about now)
