I am thinking about changing to a three blad prop for my 84 H31. I know I will loose sail speed, but what are the advantages of a three blad prop? What size prop should I buy for a H31 with an Yanmar 2gm 13hp? Is the prop left or right handed?

My question...

...is why not spend those boat units on something that will really make a difference, such as an auto helm, or new interior upholstery or new stereo system or new set of sails? Just my two cents.

Get a Max Prop

We gained over a knot of motoring speed with almost no vibration and she backs up like a dream now.

Non-slip tip

Bob: Before you spend $300-400 on a three blader, consider contacting Bay Props in Alemeda, CA. Talk to them about a Non-slip tip prop. It will do about the same thing as a three blade prop, will eliminate most of the prop walk and let you maintain your boat speed under sail.
