    Default Trouble finding smaller 3/16" counter rotating props

    Do these exist or am looking for a ghost? Have twin Leopard 2860's/1690KV w/ twin Aquastar 120 esc's and a 4s battery. It has twin surface drives with 3/16" flex shafts. Am thinking I need smaller pitch and diameter to work properly with this oddball set up. Not really looking for high speed here. Any idea's are appreciated.

    Octura makes a 536 but not in counter rotating.

    Propshop will deliver to the states.

    Thanks for the replies. I was not sure if the X437/3 may be to much to swing. Thanks again.

    You can usually run bigger props on motors in a twin set up than you can on the same motor in a single set up in the same size or even slightly larger boat.
    Also, a couple of strokes with a file to take half a millimeter off the tips & you are down to a 36mm prop if they are drawing too much load.
    But you are only spinning at 25000 revs. Depends on the type & size of boat.
    Any pics?
