We need a variable pitch prop. 5-6 degree swing is fine. Use the existing trim pump and rig up a ram inside the outdrive that could push on bottom side of prop and have a cam effect creating blade twist... Let’s go! I can’t believe we don’t have something by now.
Would it be feasible to change a prop depending on the planned usage of a particular trip? For example, using a particular prop when planning an outing with 10 people on board versus 2 people traveling across the ocean to Bimini when higher top speed would be beneficial.
Even though I understood this "science" before reviewing it on youtube, I was just amazed at how poorly it was explained by so many of the so-called "experts." Your explanation was simple, correct, and easy to understand. Thank you!
Would it make sense to make a shroud to go around or behind the prop to see if Bernoulli's principle would help create more thrust? Like "air entrapment" but with a liquid.
I need help. in 10 days I will get a pair of Suzukis DF 150 APX for my Center Console Brand: AS MARINE AS 26 GL about 7.8 meters (or 26 feet long) and 2,55 meters wide ( 8.3 feet), Weight wet with everything is 2600 KG or 5700 poung. This boat got have a bracket in the hull integrated. I need a setup for speed. Thanks for your recommend.
Just an excellent video. I spent months investigating a prop for ours and STILL think I may have made a mistake. This is like a science. Keep’em comin’. 🇨🇦👍🏼

Hi .I am the owner of a small 16 foot pontoon boat. Suzuki DF40 ATL 4 stroke engine I am asking for advice on the best size aluminum propeller for speed I should order ? thank you
That’s a tough one Russell. Boat companies are not the best at recording that data today, much less back in the 90s. Why is it important for you to know, or are you just curious?
I really appreciate you guys breaking down the video into different sections. Even though I find myself watching the whole thing anyway, it's still nice to refer back to.
@@boatinglessons did you stop being a dealer because you don’t like Godfrey boats or was it for another reason? Just getting the opinions of those in the know! I like the Sweetwater models but haven’t seen them in person to be able to judge them against other brands!
@@NipItInTheBud100 Godfrey makes a good boat and we sold them for about 10 years. We had the chance to align ourselves with what in our opinion are the two best brands in pontoons and went for it. Sweetwater are good, not perfect, and better than many others out there. The dealer can make or break the experience as much as the product too.
@@boatinglessons Im jealous of you all in Canada! Your waterways are so beautiful up there. We go fishing just North of Red Lake, ON every year just because of how beautiful the scenery is! Thanks again for the great channel!!
