Kiwi Prop for a Hunter 376

[johanpor]

Does anyone have experience with a Kiwi Prop on a Hunter 376?
If so what size prop is correct and how does it perform both forward and reverse. I currently have a 2 blade fixed Michigan prop.

We have one on our 37c and I love it. Boat speed is up 1+ under power and some under sail compared to the Campbell Sailer 3 blade that I took off. Our boat is heavier than yours at 20,000# and we have a 2.46:1 tranny. Having said that, ask Kiwi to size one for you. Kiwi told me that a 17" unit would fit, but I didn't believe them and bought a 16. They were right, I was wrong. Blades are waaay aft and distance to hull much greater with Kiwi.

Hey Bill thanks for the input. Do you recall the price for your boat?

I will get in touch with KiwiProp.

Boat was many thousands of dollars. Prop was $1,600 ish.

Ah Yah I guess I didn't word that correctly.

Thanks again Bill.
