I may be doing something wrong, but I don’t feel
prop walk in any particular
direction astern – Pelican goes pretty much at
random until enough way is on
for the rudder to work (which, by the way, is
considerable as the rudder is
way too small for the boat). Going astern in a
tight situation is always an
adventure. I have a three bladed prop and a W58.

I have a Max-Prop and I get prop walk to starboard

in

reverse…can’t say if it would be worse with a
regular prop since I can’t compare..but I can only

say

the max still gives a prop walk…quite severe,
especially whe you don’t want to go that

way…LOL!

On the trip home from the haul-out portion of my
survey the boat was really pushing to starboard

(the

same side walks to when in reverse). My surveyor
Don (Owns Syringa) said his boat does this too.

Spirit has the W58 and Syringa has the W60.

I was wondering if this was a common experience

and

what people have done (if anything) to improve

it. I

was thinking a Max-Prop could help quite a bit.

Prop

is marked 20LH13.

Thanks,
