Revolution vs Hydromotive
As I was looking at the Technohull SeaDNA 999 and two of the most famous and well designed 4-blade propellers, I couldn't resist the temptation of a comparison test.
Revolution 14 5/8΄΄ x 25΄΄ against Hydromotive 14 ¾΄΄ X 24΄΄. Two propellers with approximately the same diameter and pitch would allow us to focus on the individual characteristics of their design.
The pair of 300hp Mercury Verados that was mounted οn the small brackets performed very well with remarkably low fuel consumption, mainly due to the overall design of SeaDNA. The engine's mounting height for these propellers was ideal, as shown by the data, since at high speed the rib performed wonderful, recording very high speeds, while it also got on plane quite quickly at low rpm. A combination for which it took many hours of testing and observations.
