The 2 blade factory fixed prop just is not pushing my boat through strong chop and current, where it cavitates and the boat looses steerage due to no forward speed over rudder. I looked into a Maxprop 3 blade feathering and the shop recommended 15" diameter, 9'' pitch, 1'' shaft. The cost to buy and then haul boat to install is steep for the Maxprop so I was thinking of trying a fixed 3 blade to hold me over until my next haulout. Does anyone have a recommendation for 3 blade size/pitch/manufacturer for E-34? Will the folding recommendation above be good for fixed? I Know, I know the fixed will slow me down but I don't race and it's only temporary (let's hope)
