Welcome

Glad you like your boat. They are really nice. The 40x52/3 will keep the temps low and give you more run time, but speed will suffer. The grim 42x55 will work well also. Some other props to try are a Octura x642 & m445. All those props (even the grims) will need sharpend and balanced. If you don't know how to do that yourself you can buy pre-sharpend & balanced props or contact Chuck and he will do some props for you http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ead.php?t=7367. Don't use the grim 40x57/3. It's a lifter "L" prop and won't work.

I'm pretty sure its just for 3 point boats like hydros and riggers, never heard of use on cats. Always possible for me to be wrong though.

[blackcat26]

Nope Diesel you are correct. Hydros and riggers. That prop has alot of pitch and will take several yards to get on plane. Speed will suffer also.

oky lets say we have a 2 blade prop and a 3 blade with the same diamiter and pich,what would you suggest or is it more for the looks?also what grim would work the best? like i said thanks for all the replys...

[blackcat26]

Generally the two blade will be faster on top speed than the 3 blade. The 3 blade may have a little more acceleration than the 2, just depends on what you are looking for.

To add 3 blades normally hold their speed in the turns better. Grim prop would be the 42x55, like I said earlier even though they come close to sharpened and balanced they are not and still require attention.. They aren't as rough as Octura props though, they ain't lying when they say "Raw" on the octuras lol. I just sold some octura x642's in the swap shop they went quick, they are a great choice for the MG and they were sharpened and balanced.

lol i just sent chuck a octura v967/3 blade prop...what a pice of crap.....raw it was just a chunk of bronze....dont even think it would have spun on the boat lol......chuck will make it a think of beauty...i really need to send about 3 other props to him to work his magic ...

oky if im correct the octura x642 is 42mm diamiter and the pitch 66mm (2.6x25.4) but i cant get octura so what about the grim 42x66?like i said thanks for all the comments

The Grim 42x66 is a lifter prop. Won't work on a cat. Use the grim 42x55. Great all around prop, will work nicely on the MG!

sorry i know you said that the lifter props are for hydros,but if its a dumb Q sorry but why wont a lifter work,whats its work...tanks

Their made for 3 point boats like hydros/riggers. 3 point boats run on each back edge of the front sponsons and the prop (3 points), lifter props lift the transoms high out of the water, less area in the water less drag faster speeds. A lifter prop on a cat will cause the hull to constantly cavatate because it will try to lift the back end of the boat out of the water which cats/mono's are opposite and need the transom in the water and bow out of the water. Hopefully that makes sense and is a ball park answer, more experinced guys may be able to provide further more exact details.

nope that was very helpfull,now i understand it... so cause i can only get grim props you suggest the 42x55??and some say the motor can handle 6s but esc must be upgraded?if its not risky what esc for 6s and standard motor??thanks a lot!!!!
