Changing from 2 blade to 3 blade prop?
Thinking of changing to a 3 blade prop?
Westerly 26 foot about 7000 pounds when in the water and occupied. Engine is a Volvo MD1B (9 HP) with maximum speed of 1800 RPM via a 1:1 forward reverse gear. Reason for change is we need a new prop. Also advice some years back from a couple who took a similar size boat cruising the Caribbean and claimed that the 3 blade was much better, while experiencing no increased drag under sail! Would welcome any comments/advice. Terry |
