EDIT: after talking with daredevil i just figured out I have my terminology messed up here. I'm obviously not the most knowledgeable prop guy, though I'm learning. What we need is a "round ear" or "elephant ear" props. 4 or 5 blade




We are trying to dial in my 29 force with arneson and have had alot of issues with the boat getting loose. We cannot run over 80 and have almost no bow rise. We are in desperate need of a prop that will provide us with alot of bow lift. Rik has suggested trying 4 blades, and especially a cupped one if possible. We have contacted practically everyone on the west coast from dan at archer marine, bob leach with eliminator, etc etc etc. Heck, hering over here doesn't even make 4 blades. We have a lead for a rolla but does anyone know who may have one available for us to test and possibly purchase, if not just test? Rik from arneson is almost positive that this is what we need but we have no idea of what pitch or diameter. Anything from probably a 16.25 to 18 diameter and possibly 27 - 35 pitch with a higher degree of rake as well. Just something to even give us even an idea of what direction to head with this.

Thank you soo much for anyone that may have one that would be willing to work something out or be kind of enough to point me in the right direction. We're really in a bind because these things are next to impossible to come by.

Where you at in the burbs? a friend has a few kamma blades and i just sold everything i had last year..

im in glen ellyn.

I have a 16.5 X 27 Merc 4 blade RH SSM prop !! 26 spline for #4,5&6 ! Don't know if it fits ?

you know what I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that the boat is still with the manufacturer out in Mira Loma CA. I have been stuck out here as well for the last month and a half waiting to sort out the problems so I can tow her to chicago. All the testing is being done on lake elsinore CA.

mr fixall........ I'm actually flying home to chicago tomorrow for about a week before coming back to cali and will be at my property in sugar grove, which is close to naperville. I don't know the first thing about kamaa blades but my arneson takes a #6 cleaver. If it would fit I'd like to know more about them and maybe see if we could work something out to try and or possible buy if they are what we need/ they work.

Daredevil........ I'm not the most techlnical prop guy and I don't know by "spline" if it will fit. Is all I know is that it takes a standard #6 cleaver. And I know you referred me to I think it was cobra power before? i never ended up contacting him because we weren't ready for props yet and rik and the owner of force ended up finding some 5 blade cleavers to try locally here. Think they may have something?


thanks again guys

I have this one ,,#6 prop !!!!!!!!! and yes Randy should have a bunch of them.

Oh by the way , #6 are 26 spline !!!!!!!!

The other one in the picture ia a 16 X 26 .

I have 1 RH 16.25x34 4 blade merc for 26 spline..
perfect condition!!

1200$$ takes it..

I'm not looking to accrue an inventory of props that don't work, but thanks for the offer.

WTF
my bad must have read this in Chinese,,O and Im not in the business of paying for someone else to play!! Thats Obamas program..

Some people are willing to help out others that are in a jam.... I said that appropriate collateral could easily be arranged in the event of a "you break it you buy it scenario". I'm a trustworthy person working with recognizable respected names that are aware of the situation, helping locate props as well, and able to validate who I am. Sorry you have to feel you have to make a couple bucks to help someone out.

I appreciate anyone who can help us out with a 4 or 5 blade cupped blade.

thank you so far for those that have responded to me

Rik (arneson) i think would really like to see some 5 blades...... or maybe some 4 blades with a little larger diameter....maybe 17+
