That is slightly over the terminal hull speed for a 21 ft dsplacement hull. So a 12 in pitch is a good place to start. Assuming that your engine is rated at 14 HP at 3000 rppm, and knowing that (torque x speed) = HP and further assuming a failrly flat torque curve for the engine, you'll be getting aboutr 7 HP at 1500 rpm. So you'll want a prop diameter that will absorb 7 HP and a 12 in pitch. A good guess is in the neighbourhood of about 12-14 in diameter. There are plenty of references about how to estimate proplellers, but it comes down to the assumptions and how acurate they are ( and there are a lot of them) . Propleller sizing is ( or can become) an endless discussion and experience is about the only thing that settles it. miro   mktraders New member Username: mktraders Post Number: 2 Registered: 08-2009 Posted on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 - 01:50 pm:        We have SABB DIESEL,YANMAR, BUKH, VOLVO PENTA, LISTER,PROMOMER(Argentina) for sell, HP: 22 to 68 HP all are water cooled and in running Conditioned.
