Re: THe Black Art of Propellers

I thought the original post was excellent. Just remember, more information = more words. In this day and age of text abbreviations and web site links, some people just wont take the time to read a long 2 paragraph post.

Sorry it wasn't my intention to critisize anyone and you certainly know your props, I'm always learning stuff all you guys, and yes I am guilty of not really taking the time to read all through your post because i though it was all textbook but thats ok its all good...

Bryon, you are absolutely right, people didn't take the time I think. I am currently finishing a prop manual and software to help people pick the right prop for their boat, and I may be very wrong in my approach to this problem. I may just make it very simple on the front end so they can just pick the right diameter and pitch, then in section two I will explain the rest of the contingencies involved in picking the RIGHT prop for the maximum performance of their boat and their uses of it.

I look forward to reading it. Thanks.

A70, there was NOTHING wrong with your statements it was an HONEST criticism and well deserved. Tim and I did get into a very spirited discussion as to propellers and their properties. Looking back through it, that is exactly what I would call it, two guys poking at each other with a real knowledge of propellers. I had hoped for better results than that and it did change into a much better discussion later. But it appears that most people just want a prop that works within the design limits of their motors and doesn't exhibit any funny behaviors. And I have to agree that is not a bad thing.
