Need help with prop for genesis and Leo 4082

[shrive81]

So I have a genesis 37" with a seaking 180 amp esc and a leopard 4082 1600kv..... I have a x445 on it now but seemed to cavitate a lot... I suck when it comes to how to choose the right prop... Does anyone have any suggestions on what prop and where I can order one pre balanced and sharpened?


Also I usually run it on 6s
Thanks

Alright ya i was running a x445 but untried to sharpen and balance it myself and I suck at it... Do u know where I can get good sharpened and balanced props from

[SirBudman32]

OSE has them but they are out of stock right now. There are a few guys here that do S&B them.

An M445 is a de-toungued X445, I would think the toungues would get it out of the hole better, and cavitate less. Maybe your problem is from something else, like strut setup, CoG, or dull prop......?
What are you running for cells, I have that motor in my 36"cat on 6s with a S/B M645 and it gets over 65mph, I have also run M445, M545, and a few others.

I was trying to find the best cog and strut setup for this boat inthe forum but I can't find it and its my first boat so I am kinda guessing alot with most of this stuff...

from what i have learned is on a cat hull start at
COG 30% dont count the over hang
bottom of strut level with bottom of boat

some good reading here on the Genesis/Daytona

Exactly the same combo with abc h5 63 mph ..strut flat as just suggested & cog as close to 1/3 as possible measured from the back of strut forward on mine.
