Prop Modifications

[Rick Sowell]

with all of the topics on head mods and timing mods I thought that we need to have a topic on prop modification terms. as a relative new boater (4years) I am starting to get very interested in motor and prop mods and what it takes to make it go faster. I will list some of the things I would like to learn more on and maybe we can get this pinned at the top for everyone to learn from. so here is my short list for now. Thanks, Rick

Pitch

Cup

Center of blade pitch

Leading edge pitch

when to remove tounges and what are the advantages?

advantages in pitch ratio, 1.4 to 1.5 to 1.6?

Lift and is this the same as cup or pitch?

best places to start bending on a prop,maybe show some illustrations of where to get the best performance?
