Ihave a new to me,'83 36 ' convertible with a pair of Yanmar 440 hp Diesels.It currently has 24''x26'' 3 blade wheels .Im thinking of replacing the props for a smoother and better performance and was wondering what other Hatt owners thought,Peter

Search the forum for Veem propellors and you will pull up a thread that I think will be of interest to you. I am suppossed to get a new pair of Veems this week, so I can't give you any first hand details till later.

Keep us posted, would you? Always interested in propeller discussions, as it remains a black art.

If you have not already tried the computer program available at boatdiesel.com it might be worth your time and the cost of a year subscription to try it.

I am not sure what the cut off is and whether it has to do with speed or hull shape, but I think it would be slow planing or average planing. Perhaps others here will know.
