What are the numbers on my prop?
Propellers are described in numbers: the first number is the diameter, and the second number is the pitch. So, a 14 x 19 propeller has a diameter of fourteen inches, and a pitch of nineteen inches. In conversation, most people would describe this propeller as a 19-inch pitch, or simply a 19.
Which number is prop pitch?
Thankfully, understanding propeller pitch is simple. The pitch of a propeller is the number of inches it moves forward in a single revolution. So, a 20-pitch propeller moves 20-inches each time the blades make a full turn back to their starting positions.
