Can we control the prop’s stern lift with the Jackplate’s help?
Many of us, at the chase of the ideal propeller, have tried quite many of them looking for the ideal one for our rib-engine combination. Through these tests we have noticed that each propeller has different effects on the rib behaviour.
Each propeller, among other things, lifts more or less the stern out of the water, a fact that we can see relatively easily either by looking at the wake our stern is making when underway or by observing the overall rib’s ride attitude. Definitely a 5-blade propeller lifts the stern much more than a 3-blade one of the same diameter οr, as we use to say, a 5-blade propeller is a more stern lift propeller than a 3-blade one of the same diameter.
