Terms - Diameter
Diameter is the distance from the center of the hub to the tip of the blade x 2. It can also be looked at as the distance across the circle that the propeller would make when rotating. It is the first number listed when describing a propeller.
Terms - Pitch
Pitch is defined as the theoretical forward movement of a propeller during one revolution — assuming there is no "slippage" between the propeller blade and the water. Pitch is the second number listed in the propeller
Terms - Cup
Small radius of curvature located on the trailing edge of the blade. This curved lip on the propeller allows it to get a better bite on the water. This results in reduced ventilation, slipping, and allows for a better hole shot in many cases.
Terms - Rake
Rake is the degree that the blades slant forward or backwards in relation
to the hub. Rake can affect the flow of water through the propeller.
Aft Rake helps to trim the bow of the boat upward, which often results in
less wetted surface area and therefore higher top end speed.
Forward, or negative rake, helps hold the bow of the boat down. This is more
common in workboat type applications.
