Hi Guys
I have had a few challenges propping my boat for more power. I bought a new 4 blade 18" which improved things but was still not quite right. I had it cupped and balanced, still not there. SO I tried a 15" 3 blade which was better but RPM was too high at 5400. Next was a 17" 4 blade which ended up as seen in the photo because we had to dry start off the bank to get up. BUT... see the new baby next to the old one (RIP) A high5 17 pitch professionaly ballanced and a small trailing edge cup. Should be able to pull my Fat Arse out of the water.
The Origional Prop Shop here in Melbourne has been brilliant and gone out of their way to keep me on the water, despite me having a few sense of humour failures.
Note to self... Keep the depth sounder turned on and the alarm set to ON.
PS.. She was driving ( cause She has more patience than me)
Cheers Mark
