Previous owner gave me a pair of 4's and I was going to take them to the prop shop to clean them up and balance but wasn't sure if it was even worth doing. __________________ RUFF C's Pensacola, Florida 35' Catalina Back to Top    boatman66 "Commander" Joined: August 19 2007 Posts: 1123 Posted: May 31 2011 at 15:43 | IP Logged RUFF C'S I BELIEVE A FOUR BLADE IS MORE OF A WORK PROP FOR MORE PULLING YOU CAN FIND YOUR ANSWER BY GOOGLEING PROPS THERE IS EVEN INFO ON THE BOAT US SITE DON'T THROW THEM AWAY-SOMEONE SOMEWHERE CAN USE THEM __________________ 1986 294 catalina twin 350's Back to Top    RUFF C's "Seaman" Joined: March 11 2011 Posts: 42 Posted: May 31 2011 at 20:16 | IP Logged Thanks boatman66 I did google and found mixed messages.

I've got a pair of original chris 350's; good engines but I don't want strain them any more than I have too as they are 37 years young. __________________ RUFF C's Pensacola, Florida 35' Catalina Back to Top
