The conversion for a 3 and 4 bladed propeller is a simple tasked if you know what 2 bladed propeller you use on a given Engine or Motor. For example on a three bladed propeller you would drop the diameter and keep the pitchOn a four bladed you would drop the diameter and the pitch. For instance if you had a two bladed 24-10 propeller and you wanted a three bladed you would use a 22-10 and.
I was running a 3 blade aluminium prop and the mechanic who was taking care of my boat at the time had a 4 blade ss prop off his 23 running a 200 Johnson. He assured me the prop would be an improvement. So I bought it and been running it for 3 seasons now.
I noticed I picked up about 3-4 knots faster plane better bite in chop. How do I convert from a 2 blade to a 3 or 4 blade. 3 4 BLADED CONVERSION CHART The conversion for a three and four bladed propeller is a simple tasked if you know what two bladed propeller you use on a given Engine.
For example on a three bladed propeller you. 4 blade props typically give less torque steer to the operator 4 blade props tend to run more smoothly with less vibration over the entire rpm range. 4 blade props tend to load the engine more - if you compare a 3 blade prop of identical blade size and pitch.
4 blade props tend to have a lower top speed. Since the horsepower is limited the RPMs drop and the speed will tend to drop with it. This is why when going from a 3 blade prop to a 4 blade prop you usually drop an inch or more of the pitch to keep rpm parity.
An example would be going from a 21 pitch 3 blade propeller to a 19 pitch 4 blade propeller. Moving from a 3-blade to a 4-blade propeller a 4-blade generally turns 50 to 100 RPM less than a 3-blade propeller with the same pitch. Switching from an uncupped to a cupped propeller will also reduce your RPM by 200.
As an example if you were to go out and run a. Three-blade props offer a nice compromise when it comes acceleration efficiency lift and speed. A four-blade propeller on the other hand can boost acceleration efficiency or lift but at the cost of a lower top speed.

The number of blades will not change propeller sizing much in this case especially if the blades are as wide 3 blade has 34DAR. 19x19 will be less efficient and the maximum rpm will drop about 10. 19x165 would be about equal in max rpm but less efficient.
As our graphic shows a propeller is identified as for instance 13 34 x 21 if it has a blade diameter 13 34 inches with a pitch of 21 inches the amount of forward travel in one revolution. The table below generally defines the terms. To convert from 2-blades to 3-blades as a general rule youll want to DECREASE the propeller diameter by 1 inch and then KEEP the same pitch.
To convert from a 3-blades to a 4-blades youll want to KEEP the same diameter and DESCREASE the pitch by 1 to 2 inch. You can also increase ground clearance more than the 12 that 2 to 3 blade switch will do by extending the landing gear. Those additional 123 grams 43 ounces on the nose are no much weight and may be achieved by increasing the battery pack andor relocating it.
The Monterey came second-hand with a 19 3-blade aluminium prop but was under-propped and hugely over-revved to about 5300rpm WOT range 4400-4800rpm doing about 40mph. Fitting a 21 High-5 prop brought the revs down to 4800rpm and still achieved over 40mph. 2 to 4 Blade Propeller Conversion.

They are not intended to perform complex cavitation or efficiency calculations. The results provide best size propeller dimensions based on your input data. The Mercury prop selector comes up with a 15 pitch in either 3 or 4 blade.
I would consider a Solas Rubex prop in a 15 pitch to save about 50 over the Merc prop. It will perform as well maybe better. For what its worth I had a 24 ft Tracker toon with a 2 stroke Merc 90 and ran a 15 pitch prop.
