If your interested in knowing your prop pitch you may want to look at the VooDoo Prop Pitch gauge. While first using the gauge I was surprised to find that the only props that actually measured the same as the spec sheet were my ABC Cleaver series, 3 out of 3 showed the exact #s on both blades. In addition its very simple to use! Tim

An explanation of prop pitch and how pitch gauges work can be found in Props Part 2.

Thanks,

Do you use the 20 degree pin mostly?

The first pitch gauge I built was in the 60's for full sized outboard props and used 45 degrees as the base unit ie: 8 x 45 = 360. My first gauge used pointers and a 6 inch machinist scale, I would start with the stylist at the leading edge and swipe 45 degrees and a second pointer would touch the blade and I would take a reading and multiply by 8 and get the pitch reading. More later - time to go to dinner. I did update to digital eventually.

Thanks, John
