Re: Prop Tunnels/Pockets on a 31

Every little bit counts where I can gain some extra speed and efficiency so even if it were 2 knots extra I'd be okay with it.

Re: Prop Tunnels/Pockets on a 31

In rough weather, your pocketed props will be spending a load of time out of the water. Fine for a flat calm day, but I wouldn't do it. Talking with you guys I am second guessing its application in a 31. Spoke with a few guys in FLIBS '17 including some reps from Cummins who recommended the pockets...

Prop Tunnels/Pockets on a 31

Anybody have any experience with prop tunnels on a Bertram 31? Will be installing a pair from Cabrera. He has specified a distance between the centre of the strut supports on each tunnel to be 58-3/4". With this measurement, the shaft centreline is now extending closer to the gunnels than originally...
