I like the prop chart..... what number should you insert for gear ratio if you have a direct drive?? is it 1?

 

[TimD]

Also your pitch reference - is that L/E pitch?

Tim

P.S nice idea having that prop calculator on there!

 

[nitro junky]

the gear ratio is 1.2 and calculate the TE pitch

Does anybody know of a prop calculator that uses hp, rpm hull type to tell you what diameter and pitch to start with? I looked at the Props for U calculator, but being new to boats, knowing just a pitch and speed desired doesn't tell me enough to make an intelligent choice on prop diameter. There's no way of knowing if the engine I have can turn the recommended prop. Also why do the recommended props from Octura's chart differ so much in diameter/pitch from the props recommended by Prather's charts?

what boat, motor, pipe are you running

the boat is a sk-daddle too, 27 inch flatbottom, most likely going to be surface drive when it hits the water, engine will be a cv.12 out of a buggy (.56hp) then I might switch to a cvr.15 (1.2 hp) until I can afford a nice .21. thinking about just using one of the mac tuned pipes on it. the boat should weigh about 3-3 1/2 lbs ready to run, and only sits about 1/2 inch in the water at the transom when floating in the bathtub.
