Re: [Electric Boats] Why gear reduction?

 

If you race phrf a 3 bladed prop in an appature is worth 6 seconds per mile. On my last certificate anyway.

Just turn off tge regen and let it spin free

Hi John, 


Do you have performance readings from when you used your 12 x 14   Fixed 3 blade prop compared to your 2 blade 12" fixed prop.  James Lambden certainly recommends a larger 3 blade fixed prop for efficiency, but I still race my boat in club races and not yet ready to accept the extra drag of the fixed blade when racing.
