Hey Guys....I thought we could talk about "Propeller Blade Thicknesses". This is a characteristic of newer origin, to both racers and the private sector. But, none the less, a VERY IMPORTANT aspect when purchasing propellers, new or used.
It has become painfully clear that blade thicknesses are not being considered or thought of during the propeller purchasing process.
So, I thought I would start this thread to get some real life scenarios.
What is your HP and what is your blade thickness?
Do not worry if you do not know, check your propellers on the aft end.
You may see the manufactures name, the propeller size, serial numbers, blade thickness and manufacturing date. It will not have all of this info but it will have some of it.
So before you start the season lets make sure your propellers are what they need to be.
Safety first, as they say!
