Default Which Prop?

Hi,

I've mentioned before that I'll be replacing Far Cove's engine this
winter (assuming I can sell the appt!) with a 26hp Universal M25XPB. What
prop should I buy to go with it?

I've heard Good Things about the Campbell Sailor, but some not-so-good
things as well. Mi Wheel is, of course, the Standard and probably the
cheapest.

What about a feathering prop like the AutoProp? Worth the money?

I've decided on a 3-blade, and drag under sail is not a BIG issue (I
don't race) but is a factor. Mainly I want max thrust/speed, both in clear
water and into a chop.

Suggestions?


I've used these folks....

Give them a call, with your displacement, transmission, and engine
figures, and rotation, in hand. Tell them you want a three blade, and
they will size the dang thing for you.

You don't have to buy it there, but they do have ok prices on new and
recons.
