Lifter props

[dannybj26]

What is the diffrence between the lifter props and the regular props Because i see that the grimracer L40x57 looks like a sharp prop then i see the grim racer 40x52 and it looks like any regular prop. Its going on a supervee 27 on 2s 4000mah 30c and i dont want somthing that will fry my system but is faster than stock that will give me nice quick speeds ?

A Supervee isnt going to be very fast at all on 2s (7.4v) unless you mean 2 x 2s in series (14.8v).

Lifter props are mainly for hydros and cats. They push the boad out of the water as they move it forward. I have never heard of anyone using one on a V hull but I don't think it would handle very good.

martin yes im sorry 2s in series 4s
norcal isnt that what all props do ?

Lifting props lift the transom of the boat, while non-lifting props do not. Hydros usually need some lift from the prop since the prop is what supports the back of the boat. Monos and cats usually don't use lifting props because their hulls support the back of the boat. Lifting props are not as efficient as non-lifters since part of their energy is spent pushing down, but the difference is usually small. You want a non-lifting prop for the SV27.
