Default What's a Zinger 18x6-10

I have a 18x6-10 wood Zinger prop, and was wondering what the "-10" means? It doesn't spool up as well as my (now broken!) 18x6 Zinger Pro.

I think they are more common in Europe than the USA? I never cared much for them. I just used an 18-8 for my application.

But an 18-6-10 will not spool up as well as a 18-8 either.

The deal is supposed to be that at slow speeds, it acts like a 6" pitch, and at high speeds, it acts like a 10" pitch prop.

The 6 - 10 designation means that at the hub the pitch is 6" and it progresses to 10" pitch at the tip. I don't know if the progression is linear.

All I know about them is, they rob power! I didn't realize what I was buying.

Pretty much a 4-stroke prop, they pull good on them for me . MAX H.

The 18X6-10 work superbly on my Quadra 35 and 41, much better than either an 18X6 or an 18X8 or an 18X10.
