prop question

[ke4rocket]

Does anyone know of a formula that would help to figure out the best depth of a prop from the bottom of the transom.<br />Is there a perfect measurement from boat bottom to center of prop hub?<br />One more question, what is the best way to de-carb a motor?<br />Thanks in advance for any help<br />Joe

Re: prop question

The height (X dimension) for any given boat depends on prop type & style, hull design, set back (if any), balance etc.<br /><br />A general starting place is the AV plate even with the true bottom of the hull. <br /><br />Tell us more about your rig and what you have now. Also if youve tried any other props or X dimensions. Jack plate?
