Hi guys,

Anyone know the difference between a 'S' type and a 'X' type 2 blade high speed propeller please?

Over here an "X" prop is a surface piercing prop, so very high speed, and an"S" prop is is under the water...

Sorry fellas but you're both wrong. S props looked at from behind for an S shape, and X props form an X shape....

S props generally speaking have more pitch. X is on the left, S on the right.

  Thanks guys, I had already figured out the difference beteen the "S" and the "X", but what is the pitch on the "Y", and i have seen today a "P".
 Somewhere, there must be a table of some sort.
