Steps wrote: Be interesting to see what an 18" prop does, I tried one on mine, top speed was lower by a couple of knots, and fuel economy was crap Just trying stuff...well hit in miss. Some good data (as described ion many other posts how to..) on a prop that is ball park. will give you the prop you actually require, or turn out to be the current prop. There are 2 main factors in propping for a paining hull.. Pitch and Slip (grip)The grip must be sorted calculated before messing with pitch. Just dumping a "18" on without knowing slip numbers could very well end up like driving with a baddly slipping clutch in a car...yet the 18" pitch could be the correct pitch for that rig |

Transparency is important, and I reckon if you got hooked up on your motor you owe it the people you're telling how great it is to tell them that you got a deal. Google "astroturfing" some time. |

It's a fair question but you should only ask once? I would expect if some relationship with supplier it should be declared. Don't expect a detailed answer just a yes or no? |
