Hi,
I have an 83 LF38 with a fixed 2-blade 16” diameter with 13” pitch. I am
thinking of getting a feathering prop. I have a Westerbeke 27 with a Hurth
HBW-150 VDrive 2:1.1 that is rated at 30hp at 3000 RPM.
I was wondering if I should maintain a 16” diameter or reduce to a 15” so I
searched at the recommendation says reduce to 15”. It got me curious to know
what some of you have done having bought feathering / folding props.
Also, would the engine stall trying to put it in forward or reverse if the prop
was too big assuming it had clearances.
