I am trying to order a new prop for my Volvo AQ270, and I am trying to determine the difference between the long hub and short hub. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, it is a 14 X 17 prop, and I have seen a few post where people are going to a 15". Can this be done? and if it is possible is there an advantage? And to add to my information gathering, has anyone gone to a 4 blade? Since my understanding is that you get more torque, but give up top end speed that would be fine. I am mainly going to use the boat to pull skiers and tubes, wouldn't that be an advantage? Would I have to change pitch size going to 4 blades?
