Title: Max prop Pitch settings
Post by: jbstack28 on May 24, 2002, 10:15:55 AM
All right gang I am looking for a consensus to adjust my pitch settings.  From my earlier subject motor speed, skip told me his pitch was set to 10 - 11.  I contacted PYI and they said 18 was the initial angle.  Currently I am at 16 and not happy.  5.5 speed at 2600 rpm.  So those who have the same setup 15" prop, and the Universal 25xp, please let me hear from you what is you pitch setting and are you happy with it.

Thanks

I called Catalina for information on the 3 blade prop supplied with the 1990, C43 with a 25xp. The reply was a 15x3x9.5. This converts to 18 deg. I can get 6.4kts. @ 2600 rpm.
