Propeller for single shaft boat

HI Dave

When the model moves away say from a dock it does kick the stern out to the left, (neutons law) then as speed increases she sails straight, although there is some trim used, this is with my Amsterdam tug, 24v motor 90mm prop, 40" long weighing approx 40 pounds, my other tugs are twin screw contra rotating

Hope this helps

Thanks for the responce Mark,

I'll take your advice on thr RH rotation, does it have much effect on the motion of your ships? Or only for the initial forward momentum and then it settles down?

HI Dave

No question is daft if you dont know the answer.... props are handed, left or right rotation, for single screw, I prefer right hand but you could use left, your choice

Propeller for single shaft boat

Hello all,

Like most question they seem daft at the time but I wanted to check, my next ship is going to be an auxiliary cruiser with a single shaft and prop, are there any center drive prop if that makes sense? Or are all propellers either left or right bias?

Thank you for any responses

Regards

Dave
