[Public-list] Props for diesels

[FITZONELOVE at aol.com]

I also have a prop question; my A30 has a Yanmar 3GM30 with 2:61 gear; I was 
told that a 12x10R 3 blade was appropriate; however, the boat has no power 
when going into wind/chop; I am thinking of going to a 3 blade13x15, and eating 
the $270 I paid for the 12x10.  Any thoughts/comments appreciated.

I'm unclear on the potential gearing differences between the Atomic 4's & the 
small Yanmar diesels that are often used to replace them. Does the same prop 
advice apply to both? Can (or should) I use the Indigo 3-blade prop with my 
2GM20? I, too am somewhat unimpressed by our current 2 blade prop :(

Thanks for such a great, informative forum!
