Daryl,
It’s not as simple as adding another blade. There is much more to it. You have to evaluate the total blade area as well. Ultimately, a professional recommendation and the experiences of the listers here would be your best resources. It you can’t swing a bigger prop, sometimes increasing the pitch will work. A 9” pitch isn’t very aggressive. More pitch = more power…until you either run out of horsepower or start cavitating the blades. I’m sure a poll of our listers would yield several different prop sizes/pitches.

What do other 37/40 owners have? Best cheapest place to order a new one? I'm waiting back on 3 quotes, 2 places in Florida, Deep Blue yachts and General prop and Delta props in Ohio. I may be going to Florida at beginning of March anyway for a week so was thinking I could order it soon so it would be done and bring it back saving the taxes and shipping since we can claim up to 800 when coming back after 48 hours or more, the prices I've seen on their sites for something similar just one more blade, are 485-493 US, only want fixed bladed prop. Thanx for any advice. Daryl McKelvie Sarnia Ontario SV Skelly
