RE: Prop-pitch

Yeah, I agree with Marin (seems to happen a lot) about D'Antonio.* I won't restart the "let's rag on PMM" thread, but the comments still apply.

IMHO, for more serious powerplants discussion, go to boatdiesel.com and pay yer $25.* Tony Athens, Ski, and some of the other guys who moderate and frequent the forums live, work, breathe, and eat diesel.* Lots of good articles, and you can list the forums by engine or transmission type.

I wonder if D'Antonio ever pondered how that Nordhavn 40 they wrote the long article about made it around the world at 1200 RPM on its Lugger - about 35% power for a few thousand hours.* The Lugger - which is a Deere block - is a new engine but an old school design.
