[C38] Prop Information

[mark turner]

The Goose had a new bronze 3 blade fixed prop fitted in 2004. All it says on 
the yard invoice is - supply and fit new bronze prop, 14x12 $330 dollars. I 
have to say it works like a dream and our old 3cylinder Universal drives her 
along at 6+ knots at 1800 revs without a murmer for hour after hour. We us 
about 0.7 of a gallon per hour depending on the state of the antifouling.
We don't race and we haven't noticed any performance problems for fast 
cruising with the fixed 3 blade.
