I had a bizarre exchange with the Kipawa propeller customer service number
today. I emailed the customer service yesterday to ask the diameter and
pitch of a Kipawa prop for a MK Endura 30/34 and received a response email
today with the diameter, which apparently is not a secret, and the statement
"We do not give out the pitch of the Kipawa Propeller."
When I called and asked them why in the world they would not tell me the
pitch on the prop, since it is what it is and since it is not a trade
secret, I was told that I could order one and measure it and return it if I
wanted but they would not give it out.
I am in still interested in knowing the pitch of the prop (without ordering,
measuring and returning one if it has a pitch I don't want). I have
variously seen the pitch online as being listed as 6" or 9". Does anyone
know the pitch of the Kipawa props? If so, and assuming Kipara did not have
you sign a nondisclosure agreement as a condition of the purchase, would you
let me know the pitch? Thank you.
[Bill Gow] Perfect timing! I just got a reply from them a couple minutes
before you posted this. I'm looking at props for the Minn Kota and
Motorguide electric motors as well. I'm wondering if one can use the bigger
motors with bigger after market props. This is what I got back;
"If your just looking for speed our props on average show a 10 - 15%
increase of speed over the standard Minn Kota Propeller."
