Campbell Sailor for a CD 33

Post by 33 Proud »

I know some 33 owners have switched to a three blade Campbell Sailor prop. I have a 1981 33 with the Universal 5424 engine and I am wondering what size prop to use. Also, how much did you pay for your prop? Thanks

Check the archives for a reiteration of my trials and tribulations with a Campbell Sailor. Its not a pretty picture.

Getting the right pitch is the challenge.

Om "Bandolera II" my 1981 CD-33 -hull #73 with the same Universal 5424, I have a 3-blade R/hand Michigan prop, 13.5 diameter, with a 10.075 pitch. It works just right. Hope this helps.
