Re: [Electric Boats] RE: Propeller question: new fixed 3-blade or used kiwiprop feathering?

 

Well efficent would dictate at least a square prop (pitch the same as diameter) with the least number of blades.

I have about 8.25" from strut center to hull which allows for about a 15" prop.

You are going from a 12" prop to a 14" prop.  Are you sure that you have enough clearance for the 14" prop?  I ask because most sailboats have too small of a prop because there just is not enough clearance to get a proper sized one in.

 

BTW, I have never had a kiwi prop but do have a MaxProp (feathering like the kiwi) and love it.
