    Default prop size

    If I'm running a 11.25x16 3 blade prop on my Sanger shovel what would the same size prop do in a 2 blade?

    It would depend on if they are both bigear props or both cleavers I've used both it all depends on what you think I used to like my 3 blade cleaver the best

    Horsepower determines how fast you hit the wall. Torque determines the size of the hole you make.

    The prop on there now is a cleaver and it bites like hell for sure. Would switching to a 2 blade require a gear change?

    No. A pitch change on the prop would fix that.

    Remember : PROP TO THE BOAT , GEAR TO THE MOTOR ,, with that said , a good man to talk to would be Harold Kindsvater about your boat .
