We have a 3 blade classic maxprop fitted to our Oyster 406 (12.2m LOA, around 12 tons and with a 48HP Perkins engine) with a diameter of 18" and a pitch of 12.4" (equates 20 degrees). It looks likely that I will have to have the maxprop overhauled, which will obviously take some time. I have a spare fixed propellor, 2 bladed, that is 18" diameter and 14" pitch. Will the 2 blade fixed prop be an adequate temporary substitute for the maxprop, and what differences might I see?
