Cleavers

[Glen Hogan]

Is anybody running 4- Blade cleavers on a Cat with twin outboards. If so how are they.

slower then three blades

How much slower do you think on a 25' Eliminator W/300X's

I had a set on a 25' Warlock cat with twin 260's. Smooth props with good punch. Too much stern lift. Lost about 5 mph. Got rid of them. I run 15x 30 three blade Merc labs and love them.

I had a set 30 on 22 ft cat with 2.4 245 to much rpm . I run up the moment 3 blade cleavers 34 pitch. The 30 are much slower. Engine height is also a important issue.

i run a set 15-30 4 blade smooth, out of hole great ,top end 4to5 MPH SLOWER than 3 blades same size.but handle better in heavy SEAS boat more stable with 4 blades. :D

Is it possible that having 1.75 gears instead of 1.62 gears could be breaking the props from the little bit extra grunt from the 1.75.

you my be to high with x demntion blads slapping the surface hard on them :eek:

You know Ive been giving some thought to this 3blade 4blade thing for a while now, and I know on my boat its alot slower with a 4 blade cleaver at any engine hieght. The speed difference is enough to make me want whack off 2 blades and make it a 2 blade prop. I see those inboard drag boats runs those 2 blade props at those ridiculous speeds and it just makes me wonder if it'll work with an outboard. what do you think?
