Would the bigger prop be better in a river with a lot of current for the thrust/torque going upstream? Versus the smaller prop in slow/no moving water like a pond or lake for speed.
That would work, 7.5 is a good size for a river, any bigger and the engine may start to struggle a little and it's not fun when it cuts out in the middle of a rapid.
Best thing to do is get one of the packs with multiple sizes, bring them all with you and find which one fits your needs the best. Some people prefer the low torque of the 6". I don't mind having to use a little more muscle with the 7 or 7.5" to get the little extra speed. You just have to remember that bigger prop doesn't always mean higher speed.
+Danny Giles I was reading smaller prop will spin faster at the same rpms as larger prop. Resulting in faster speeds with small prop vs acceleration with large prop
I was watching your troubleshoot video and my motor will tend to crank and die out of the water kinda angled and when it hits the water it completely cuts off any ideas ?

awesome info. thanks for sharing
Great information, I wish I had this knowledge when I got my first long-tail!
It's taken a lot of time on the water and a few busted props to figure all this out
Thanks for the info, great video
Like the videos about the long tail but I would like to see some more videos with the tips and tricks for the long tail
Love your videos man very helpful. I just built the beaver dam kit an live in monroe as well, keep an eye out for me.
Very good and intelligent

what brand is the motor you have on it
What are you wearing on your wrist? GPS device? What brand is it?
Wow
, 6.5hp on a boat that little.
My 17' canoe goes fine using a tiny weed eater motor and cheap model airplane plastic props 8"-10".

What kind of kit are you running

+Jake Morrow add oil or disconnect the oil shit off
😬😬😬✌🏻✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
you change between 7 and 9 inch prop..
is that the diameter or pitch ?
and with is the diameter and pitch of each prop ??
Thank you.
+kb7uxe it's measured by diameter, pitch seems to stay the same between all of them. I wasn't able to find an official measurement for the pitch
What is the total length of the propeller until the engine
It has a 90" shaft +نجم عبدنور الحصموتي
I thank you my dear friend
What engine and hp do you have on this boat?

عاوز اصمم هذا الاختراع ارجو الترجمه باللغة العربية
I'm from Iraq and we do not have a fan driven how to make it myself
They shouldn't be too hard to make yourself, the people of Thailand have been making them at home for 50 years +نجم عبدنور الحصموتي
You ever got ya boat setup?
