Default Re: Back to the 3 blade 17-15

hey rip - a lot of the prop guys think the smaller inboards only have 1:1 gears (a lot do). if that was the case then yes- a 13:13 or thereabouts is the right size to use. a 1.52:1 that seacraft used is a different animal thus the bigger wheel- good luck- look forward to hearing your numbers- mine were back up in the begining of this thread 21 to 23 knots at 3000 rpm's burning ~ 9.5 to 10 gph. craig
