Re: [Electric Boats] Pitch of Kipawa Propeller

 


I've got a Kipawa 314 they sent for an E-30. It's 10" diameter. From
root to tip is 2.5 inches. The blades are not twisted very strongly.

Does that make pitch the sum of the three blades, or 7.5?

For my own 650 pound all up 16 footer, the Kipawa prop did make a modest speed
improvement - but nothing like the 30% better range Denny Wolfe reports.
For that I had to add another battery.
