So, um, Uncle Cosmo also liked to wipe down with a rag after he polished the shaft. Well, I mean, there's no real way to stretch that out. That's what he said. Nevermind. My granddad was in the RAF back in the day, and one of the things he told me, and practiced his entire life, was, if you've got a spinny bit and you want it to spin well, you have to paint a spiral on it. Painting spirals on spinning things makes them spin even quickerer because they know which way to do it right from the start. His Hurricane had a spiral painted on the propellor nose bit, and that span even better. His Hillman Imp had spirals on the hubcaps and they spunned quicker too. Or at all, really, any suggestion of rotation off a Hillman's wheels is an improvement over stock, let's be honest. His food mixer was spirally, his record player all heliacal. He even had spiral bedsheets. Not certain why. So, anyhoo, if they sell that special paint in different colours, try getting two and spiral that splosh-go-shove up. It's like painting something red, it absolutely scientifisually is then provably quicker, especially combined with the universally understood stripe down the middle that lets the air know to go around that bit. I know a red Renko would maybe look a bit wierd, and I guess overall speed is less important than mileage, I'm just sayin', spirals on the prop, stripe down the middle, red paint scheme = maximum top speed. You'd be wanting some hydrofoils, too, at that point. Handy for those high speed trips between Montevideo and Denham when the bilges get a tad arctic, if you know what I mean. Denholm Elliot was named after Denhem, as most people know, on account of his mum and dad needing to remember where they parked the Amilcar when they were there in '21. This was prior to the invention of spelling, or at least, prior to the adoption of spelling in the Great Strayans, although many modern scholars suggest that this seminal linguistic event has yet to occur across the Big Sandy Blob. I, of course, dyzargry.

Good job in discussing the props, you might actually get some reduced fuel consumption and torque from the prop change when implemented. It sounds like it is basically a one to one prop ratio. On a large inboard ski boat we had a 13/13 and with the boat loaded with a heavy skier behind you could pop them right out of the water and be up to 40 mph in a short stretch planing.

Rule of thumb displacement Hull diesel like your Detroit is a “square” wheel. Diameter and pitch the same. Variance would be a few inches more or less pitch. Taking two inches out makes a noticeable difference with more power reduces boat speed . Adding a couple inches gives more speed less power and in many cases prevents the engine from turning optimal RPM. Only way to know for sure is test on the boat. I like the engine to be able to obtain maximum rpm and cruise comfortable typical load with couple hundred RPM less. If you plan to pull a big load go for less pitch. Tugs often have half pitch compared to diameter. High speed plaining Hull could have diamater plus 25 %

I have used Propspeed a few years ago, Two boats and myself in the yard went in on a kit as it is expensive. My boat is a converted fishing boat 46 foot our home so it can sit for 3 or four months inactive during our nasty Pacific winter. hull speed 7 knots cruise 9 knots full on but pushing lots of water and using 40% more fuel. Back to the Propspeed. I swing a 34" prop with a three to one gear box so with a 1500 RPM motor speed the prop is turning 500 RPM. A 6-71 GMC. The reason for all these back calculations is that I found with the propspeed the prop was not turning fast enough to get any barnacle growth relief. I live on the west coast of Canada in the Pacific. Some folks paint there props with bottom paint, which can cause problems with the copper content, For the past 6 years I have been using Zinc spray in a can. Not cheap at $45 a can and my prop takes one and bit cans., and the barneys fall right off with a few rotations of the prop. Under the right conditions the propspeed could work IE: a fast turning prop...just not for me with my slow old craft.
