Oh, you run into people getting offended by you all the time, it sounds like. Hmmmm, sounds like you’re the one that needs to rethink their mode...
All experiments are useful for learning information and are therefore valuable beyond measure.
Gonzella and your forum husband Mr Efficiency, you haven’t really said anything I haven’t already read or researched about, and still I have come...
There are 3 different highthrust props for this engine. the one I have comes in two pitches 9” and 11” there is a true highthrust prop which...
Greater surface area, less blade loading but more drag. I know how it works. I have to props the same, might as well modify the one and compare...
I agree with you, if it was a speed boat. This boat is not, and thus can have more blade area for the given speed then most boats.
Where will it reduce it?
I am aware of that prop. My prop already has more surface area and a larger diameter. Though it’s splitting hairs as it’s only an 1/8 difference
That is the ONE of the specific highthrust props for that engine. When compared to the other props that will fit on that leg, it is very obvious...
@comfisherman exactly! The highthrust aspect is what throws a lot of people off. You can get more blades, but the highthrust props always seem...
@MrEfficiency that’s a silly idea. If three blades equal 150” squared, and a fourth blade would bring the total to 171” squared, (total blade...
@DogCalvery I WANT TO SEE
And after all the research I’ve done, leaning on the backs of those who spend the millions in scientific R&D work, surface area was the best...
I’ll have it balanced properly, though I’ll give it the initial balance myself. I think it will be just fine.
Well, I have some answers for you! The prop spins around 1500rpm. At 3500 rpm. (I went to those numbers because they’re simple) I anticipate...
It’s the spare, but yes, and I agree, it probably won’t gain anything except in wind or waves, it will probably hold the boat a little more. It’s...
I have a Yamaha 50hp highthrust outboard. It pushes my Bayliner 2670 at a comfortable cruising speed of 6 knots at 3200 rpm and 9.5 knots at 5100...
Yes, I had planned on that, and if I ever wanted to revert to a planing hull, I could rework the bottom of the pod, and put a 25” outboard on...
I don’t think it’s that far fetched to put an outboard bracket or even a pod on that transom. I have one on mine and it works very well.
Hi! I’m new here, but not new to boats. I’m building a pod for my boat because 20 years ago, someone took out the I/O, covered the hole for the...
