Unlocking Peak Performance: Is Your Outboard Prop Holding You Back?

This episode features a discussion with Greg Sharrow, the founder of Sharrow Marine, about propeller technology and how it can improve boat performance. Sharrow explains how he came up with the idea for the Sharrow propeller, which is designed to be more efficient and quieter than traditional propellers. He discussed the importance of propeller pitch and how it affects factors like top speed, fuel efficiency, and handling. Sharrow highlighted how the Sharrow propeller can provide up to 100% more speed in the mid-range RPMs, 30% better fuel efficiency, and improved reverse control and maneuverability compared to standard props. He also talked about how the Sharrow propeller can be customized for each boat to optimize performance. Overall, the discussion provided valuable insights into the often overlooked but critical role that propellers play in a boat's performance.
