@willowb. There is a label on 'Slip Aweigh' on the helm hub that states the maximum diameter and cup size the boat should have. Does yours still have the label?? Do any other owners have such label? Is it different depending upon which engine was original?
No such label. I believe the PO(s) have tested, as I have a 4-blade wheel in my lazarette. Please understand, I haven't gotten Willow B home yet. The original sales documentation with the Perkins 4-108 engine indicate the 18 X 12 - 3 blade wheel as standard. But it also states 3000-3200 for an operating range for this 3600 rpm engine. Just my opinion, but that's pushing a little hard.
