prop blade size

3-blade propeller vs. 4-blade and hole-shot

We recommend 3-blade propellers for recreational boats with 3, 4, and 6 cylinder outboards and I/0 engines.
These propellers provide good "hole shot" and top-speed performance.
We recommend 4-blade propellers for bass boats and boats with high performance hulls running high horsepower outboard engines.
Compared to 3 blades, they provide better "hole shot" performance with less steering torque and less vibration at high speeds.
When switching from 3 to 4-blades, generally a 1" pitch decrease is required.
