Default RE: Three bladed props vs. two bladed props.

Is cowl width much of a consideration? On my EF Yak....the 2 blade doesn't stick out past the cowl very much. I'm saying maybe 3-4 inches on both sides. Obviously, a 3 blade (smaller diameter) would stick out less. Is this of any concern that the 3 blade wouldn't make the thrust past the cowl?
Thanks
Barry
