Need a little info on Prop Pockets vs. Open Props (terminology?) as far as maneuverability and propulsion efficiency?
Were currently going through 2ft itis and are honing in on maybe an 88 340 EC W/454’s or 88 WellCraft ST. Tropez W/454’s.
What I here is when maneuvering??? pockets tend to cavitate. Open Props will walk the stern much better. I duno?
Efficiency??? common sense tells me pockets could focus thrust much better. Open Props could flail water off all sides like a ceiling fan.
I’ve never ran twins so I’m really clueless here!
