What you need to know about props. Prof. JB a Sticky?

Texasmark · Apr 18, 2013

I ran across this info today and it covers a lot of info that we have to keep relaying to newcomers. What about a Sticky so that we can just refer the newbie to it and they can get the word from the horses mouth.

Some points of interest include where the engine rpms matter in selecting the prop (WOT), the rpm change with blade pitch change, relationship of cupped to non-cupped props in terms of added pitch equivalent, rpm drop when changing from a 3 to 4 blade prop, and some definitions. Some definitions are left out like alum to SS rpm advantage due to thinner blades, what do high rake blades do for you and surely others.

There is a thing called plagiarism. That link is merc's trademark and how they make a living. IN fairness gotta give those guy's a break...besides that is not the end all thread to prop's. Most come here because they have other problem's aka my boat is not performing.

I don't think so. This isn't all that inclusive.

I don't know what you are referring to. If it's about posting this publically available information, with rights to ownership clearly displayed, it's not taking others work for personal credit, aka plagiarism.

Not sure why plagiarism is being talked about at all, in no way shape or form is the link at the top of this thread plagiarism. If I directly copied what was on the website, and wrote a book with the exact words or something similar then it would be.

Won't do much good to post a link to the Merc site up in the stickies, Merc changes their site way to often for that. Might be good for now, but in a month or so it could have a different URL.

Thanks Don. Since the questions are asked frequently and the word was from the horse's mouth, it could have more meaning to some of us.
