Default Bravo 4 blade on 3" IMCO Shorties??

Can a stock Bravo 4blade be used with an IMCO 3" Shortie?

It's my understanding that the newer bravo 1 props were designed to get boats with high X's up on plane. Bu if it does't work then you might need to go to a 5 blade.

iam,
The 3" shortie only fits on the Xtreme Advantage SC upper due to prop clearance, thats what the catalog says.. and I do believe the Bravo one prop will fit, but not 100% certain..

That is correct.. the -3" will only fit on the SC upper... thats what the catalog says. I have not seen one in person, so I cant tell you for sure that a Bravo prop will fit. But the shortest lower for an XR upper is the -2"... sorry.

I've seen a 26p and a 30p Bravo four blade on a 3" IMCO SC shorty drive, so yes they will fit.

I believe they are only cutting 2" from the lower. The cavitation plate is cut off so the prop can swing through it.
