Mercury Cleavers
Is there a reason that Merc doesn't make a 36 3 blade Cleaver? im hitting the limiter pretty hard with my 34 and would love a 36.... any thoughts on this?

I believe it has to do with efficiency. I read years ago that the most efficient prop is "squared" in measurement. For example 14X28 or 15X30, etc. so when you get that far away from double the diameter, the prop becomes less and less efficient. No idea if this is actually true, but it sounded pretty good

Interesting concept. i have heard from a few people that big cleavers i.e 34's run high slip numbers.. i think i'm around 9% right now with the 34 so lets say they had a 36 at 12% it would still be faster..
heres where the yamahas lack... i need 1.62 gears then a 6150 limiter wouldn't matter. but instead yamaha dropped the ball and only has 1.75's and a un removable limiter. RIDICULOUS !!21 Skater w/ 250SHO

I had Rich Junker add some "bite" to a cleaver I ran and it acted a little bigger without really changing the way it ran. I believe he put some more angle at the trailing edge and a little rake out in the tips. You might talk to him or one of the others good prop guys about tweaking your 32.

A 2.5 case would be the only way to go..... Ken eats 3.0 cases for breakfast. Merc really f'd up on that one... My OLD Yamaha fishing gears outlast 4 3.0 sporties.. lol. I would think baja200merc would be the best guy to talk to on solving the issue.
