Re: Prop replacement
That is what I was going to say.? I went up and down the ICW using the old 2 blade prop and it worked fine.? You can throttle down a little and save on gas and get better mileage.? $700 is a lot of partying. From: "David Moir David.Moir@... [T27Owners]" To: T27Owners@...

Happy to help, Jack.?
Of course propellers are by their nature a trade-off on a T-27.?
Racing Sailors love the two blades because they can be tucked
behind the deadwood of the keel during racing, which gives them a
small (crucial) speed advantage.? Big wheel 3 blades are loved by
put-put captains because they are optimized for drive under power
(such as life on the ICW).? The Indigo is a compromise, optimized
for the Tartan 34 which has? less deadwood than the T-27 and
therefore any wheel is a lot of sailing drag.? But don't forget a
most important fact: the A-4 was designed and built in Oshkosh,
Wisconsin for the river and great lakes transport trades.?
Whatever boat you have such as your "war canoe" T-27, if you trick
out that A-4 with a great river-running wheel, and it'll serve you
well and kindly.? Heck, just keep the old 2-blade and swap it back
in if you are ever silly enough to want to race your '60s sailing
stud!
