Prop for MD6A?
Hi,
My new-to-me boat (Crown 28) has a Volvo 10hp MD6A, and it's way overpropped with a Campbell Sailor 11x6 3-blade (gets 1500 WOT instead of 2400). The Campbell Sailor dealer says his calcs recommend a 12x8 (ie much MORE pitch). Now, my experience with CS props is you take the calculated pitch and subtract 2", but I donno... Engine IS very "tired" but it pushes the boat at 5+ knots with the over-pitched prop, so it can't be TOO bad. Those with MD6A's - what prop do you have on it? druid http://www.bcboatnet.org |
