In Response To: Re: shafts and props (phil)

i think it has something to do with the size of prop you are turning--high hp diesels usually swing large diameter props because they have the torque to------high hp gas usually swing a smaller diameter prop at a higher rpm to get speed.

i also think that the larger diameter prop has more blade area that causes stern lift.
