    Question about props and torgue roll

    When a selected prop has a tendency to torque roll a hull, I am trying to understand the main contributing factor.

    Is it:

    A) The Diameter of the prop? EX: 42mm, 48mm etc
    B) The Pitch of the prop? EX: 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 etc.
    C) Overall pitch of the prop?
    D) Other factors?

    Thanks,
    Ken

    You might also add-
    E) blade surface area
    F) thickness of the blades
    G) sharpness of the leading edge.

      Pitch, blade profile, diameter, sharpeness of the blade.

      Prop depth.

          So a 1.4 pitch should affect my hull less than say a 1.6 pitch?

            Yes the less pitch, the less chance of TQ roll , but also some boats or the way they're set up, are more sensitive to pitch change than others.
