4 blade wrap drive prop on 4 banger lycoming

[Rainwaterou812]

Hello fellow airboaters I have ? If someone could help about a 4 blade wrap drive prop I have a lycoming 4 banger 160hp and I was thinking of buying a 4 blade wrap drive prop but my buddy was telling me that the 4 blade will brake my crank something to do with vibration I dont know so I figured I would ask also does this include the bowtie style wrap drive prop as well ? Thanks

I ran my 4 blade for 8 years with no issue on my 160.

I brorke a crank on my 360 with a 4 blade + but had no problems with the bowtie.
I think it also has something to do with the way the + is clocked.

Ive got a shorter 5 blade warp drive on my 4 cyl. I think its around 62". haven't had any issues other than wanting to go a wide blade set up for sound reasons.

Warp is the only one Nir Levin runs on that gearbox 540. He says any other prop screws up the gears.
