Two Blade High Pitch Propeller 295 mm
A high-pitch two-blade propeller for light or fast hulls: 295 mm diameter, 200 mm pitch, twice the pitch of the standard three-blade.
What It Is
Doubling pitch from 100 mm to 200 mm changes what the drive is good at: the propeller moves more water per revolution, which suits a light hull that can actually be pushed to speed rather than a heavy one that would simply load the motor.
Caroute specifies it for boats below 1,100 lbs or 500 kg, or for high hull speed, and lists it as workable with 80 lbs, 100 lbs, 120 lbs and 160 lbs motors.
Why It Is Specified
- 200 mm pitch
Twice the pitch of the standard three-blade propeller.
- 295 mm diameter
20 mm larger than the standard three-blade.
- Matched to light hulls
Specified for boats below 1,100 lbs / 500 kg or high hull speed.
- Covers four thrust ratings
Listed for 80, 100, 120 and 160 lbs motors.
Application Scenarios
- Owners of light tenders and fast planing dinghies.
- Builders chasing top speed rather than bollard pull.
- Anyone whose hull is already fast under sail or paddle.
What It Fixes
- A low-pitch propeller caps top speed on a light hull
200 mm pitch moves more water per revolution.
- Oversized propellers load a small motor
Caroute bounds this propeller at 160 lbs and 500 kg boat weight.
- Picking a propeller by guesswork wastes range
Published diameter, pitch and boat-weight limits make the choice explicit.

How It Compares Within the Range
| Option | What is different | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Two blade, 295 mm / 200 mm | High pitch, speed biased | Light or fast hulls, up to 160 lbs motors |
| Three blade, 275 mm / 100 mm | Standard fit, thrust biased | All ratings to 180 lbs |
How to Specify and Fit It
Weigh the boat loaded. Above 500 kg, use the standard three-blade propeller.
Check the motor is 160 lbs or below.
Watch maximum amp after the change — a higher pitch asks more of the drive.
