Just a final request on choosing props for Twin 50 Hondas on my CD 22. I have 14" pitch props, but am buying either 13" or 12" ... and have received various opinions both ways. As I pretty much have to decide in the next day...
Anyone with twin 40's or 50's... what props do you use, and how do you like them? Pros and Cons.
Thanks... and will quit bugging folks on this now!
 
Seacozy,
I have a 2002 Cruiser with twin 40HP Hondas. I am always running heavily loaded. I use Honda aluminum 3 blade props, 11.4in dia X 12in pitch. This gives me 5500 RPM under most running conditions.
 
C-Cakes has twin 2006 Honda 40's, carbureted. I am running Honda 3 blades 3x11.4x12. WOT 5850, top speed with moderate load about 27Kts with lots of variables. Cruise at 13-16Kts, 4200-4700RPM. I've always wanted to be able to cruise at those speeds with a little lower RPM but after talking with those who know much more that I do, switching to 4 blades, higher pitch, etc. would not be cost-effective. I am staying with my existing props.
 
Twin Honda 45's, 3 x 11.25 x 13 aluminum, wot 5900, loaded for a week of cruising she tops out at 30mph (altitude 2000-3000'). Very lightly loaded she won't plane on one engine.
Currently installing a new pair of 3 x 11.625 x 13's
