CDI Propeller

[jameslui]

I am trying to get more speed on my Hunter 34, has anybody had experience with CDI Propeller ?

Don't expect a lot more from the CDI prop. I had one on my H'31 and it worked better than the OEM prop that came with the boat. The problem was the OEM prop had too much pitch.

I suggest that you go to a 3 bladed prop and look at the Campbell. Extremely well balanced and engineered to match your engine/transmission. The cost is nearly double, but you will probably get what you are looking for.

Steve thnks , did you have other problems with the CDI prop ? when you say Campbell do you mean a Prop Brand ?

Campbell Sailor props are excelent for sailboats. Low drag under sail and good driving when motoring. Locally (to some of us) built in Nanaimo, B.C. Check out thier web site

No problems, but they have a limited array of applications and sizes. They are 2 bladed and you are looking for some additional speed/thrust.

Normally a 3 bladed prop will NOT provide additional speed, but most of the props that came with your boat (OEM) were NOT prop-erly sized either.

A 3 bladed prop should give you additional thrust thru the wind and current and that is where you will find the best improvement. The 3 bladed prop will also give you less vibration because of better balance.

I have had 2-3 personal experiences with the Campbell props and have been very impressed.
