[Electric Boats] Re: conversion performance

 

Since posting my initial performance data and later talking to James Lambden at Electroprop, I've decided to try his 14" 4-bladed fixed prop. (He had recommended this very early in the conversion process but I wanted to see if my original prop was "good enough" - which it is (IMO), but a significant efficiency increase is now enticing.)  It will be very interesting to see the new prop's  effect on performance.  I'll take some additional measurements with the original prop before switching. Stay tuned...
