I was wondering if some of my 460da fellow captains would share there propeller choices :thumbsup::thumbsup:
I am running a 23-28 with a very heavy cup 2 years ago when I had my local prop scan dealer balance them he suggested I re-pitch up 1 inch and go with less cup. It was his thought that this would give me up to 2mph increased cruise speed. :smt024:smt024
I currently turn 2600 wot cruise at 25-26 mph at 2200 rpm usually less than 1/2 tank of fuel :smt038:smt038
I am happy with my current cruising speed and economy but I need to have my props balanced this year and the re-pitch would not be too costly

The good thing is when you have to take your props in it is getting close to launch time
