Default Which Prop?

Rosalie B. wrote:

I don't think you will get an extra punch in fwd. As I understand it
(and I may be wrong), the reason that you get more reverse is that the
prop paddles are not 'cupped' or angled like the fixed prop ones are,
but are flat. The cupping is for maximum performance in forward gear,
and it makes reverse less efficient. If you have a flat prop, then it
is equally good in both directions.

Agreement, from our experience. (Dang, I snipped my comment that our 16"
3-blade MaxProp was *nearly* as efficient as a 15" two-blade. Sorry.)
