Propeller resources.
Known100 gave several links to try (Although Aerospace etc.)
Kenneth had a reply on 26 Febr.
January 17 from truck: To check Dave Gerr's Propeller Handbook.
The thread is: thread321-155535 (TaylorC - Mechanical)
By the way: Known100 is also still waiting for a reply on his query:
What is the "Propeller Law?" (26 Febr. 2002)
Worth waiting?

CYT,

Call Mr. Emory Toups in Abbeville, Louisiana. Toups Propellers is the largest Michigan Propeller Dealer in the world. Also, his shop has reworked more tugboat and crewboat propellers than any other shop on the Gulf Coast or Mississippi River.

Hi CYT,
you may find good ideas in chapters 69,70 and 71 of "Hydrodynamics In Ship Design", Vol.2, published by SNAME,

Try Dave Gerr's book on Propellers for a practical background with worked out examples. A more theoretical background can be gotten from Principles of Naval Architecture.
