    I have 12VDC waterproof electric motor in tunnel, typically 100mm diameter.
    Shafts out both ends of motor.
    1 Should propellers either end of motor be same number of blades each end?
    2 Should propeller blades be same pitch each end?

    Application I think needs low speed, low power consumption.
    Device steering uses only different motor speed either side of device, i.e. water output from tunnel. Might be pcm don't know yet.

    I would appreciate links and guidance.

    Many thanks

    Can you post a diagram with dimensions and shape of the setup?

    1. Yes
    2. No, the following prop should be higher (more) pitch because it's advance speed is higher.

    But we need lots more information:
    Speed, purpose, weight, boat, etc, etc, etc...
    Pictures work well, diagrams, sketches, doodles even, anything really.

    It depends on the geometry. If the diameter at the exit is larger, the velocity could be lower.
