Hey Guys
New to the Grady White world and I had a couple questions. I recently landed a captain position on a 360 Open and I had some concerns with the props. In the past I have always seen boats with triple engines usually have 3 blade props on the port and starboard engines and have a 4 blade on the center engine. Is anyone currently running this set up? The boat is outfitted with F250s. The reason I even questioned this was because if while on a plane and cruising the center engine turns much higher RPMs than the two outside engines. When I sync the engines the center engine does not act up as bad but still tends to want to run harder than the other two. I feel like it gets a lot of cavitation and I think this is normal and that adding the 4 blade may make it bite harder The props are not in that good of condition and need to be either reconditioned or replaced. I checked all 3 props and they are the same pitch. Any advice would be appreciated and if anyone needs anymore info please let me know. Btw I love the way this boat handles and rides. I now know why Grady Whites have such a following.
Thanks in advance.
