Hi everybody,

I would like to hear experiences with big props on a Catalina 38. I know
that some are using 16" props, but Is this the maximum allowed to be used on
our boats, or 16" is already too big?????
I have never work with my two blade 14x14, that is over pitched or my 24hp
5424 engine,  but with the new 40hp, I really need to start playing with
props and get a  bigger one....   Yanmar recommends 17" or 18", but there is
no way that this props will fit on a C38, so  I have to chose the biggest
(that is still safe), and then play a little bit  with the pitch..

Regards,
