New Props

[Chief]

Well,

The new props arrived by UPS yesterday and they are shiny and awesome. Can not wait to get them on the boat and see how they perform

Info on the props. Michigan Wheel Dyna Quad props 18x21 with .63 cup added.

Went from a 3 blade to a four blade. Boat goes in the water on Wednesday. oOOO boy its boating seasons.

Does the manufacturer specify the as-delivered state-of-tune, Class 1, Class 2, Class S or not specified?

 

[Chief]

Wingless,

They were tuned to Class 1

Thanks,

Well,

my marina splashed the boat yesterday and took it out for a short shake down with the addition of the NEW Props.

3 blade props - 18.5KTS = 3600 rpm

New 4 Blade Props - 18.5KTS = 3400 rpms

mechanic said it was a little quicker out of the hole as well.

I am anxious to get out on the water and see for myself.

So far so good if the numbers hold. The boat has to sit now for about two weeks so the mechanic can go back and do an alignment of trans, motor and shafts.

It sounds like the DQ's are doing what they should be over the Dyna Jet's. What prop shop/distributor did you get them from ?

 

[Chief]

KayKook,

I used Murphy's Propeller Shop in Norfolk, Va. They have a website

http://www.murphyspropellers.com/

got a great deal and once he gets the props he only has them for a couple of hours and then ships them out. He got my props on wed and Friday I had them.

Great service
