Surely to change rake you would have to take the blades off and weld them back on !!!!
or get say a 15 inch diameter prop and have it taken down to about 12 to alter the rake.
Sounds like something a specialist may be able to do ,but would probably cost twice what a new
prop would, as need to do more than twice the normal work on the prop.
ofcourse i might be wrong, but isnt rake the angle of the blade attached to the hub ?????
phill....
i've never heard of changin the rake, pitch yes. just so we're talkin about the same thing, Rake is the angle that the blade leans back from straight up and down.
like a sail boat prop has zero rake at what ever pitch, no lean, looks like a fan.

Yeah fast fred your right.
Rake is blade angle from hub.
it would definitely be a challenge ha ha ha
probably been done on very exotic stuff where originals aint around anymore.

Yes rake can be slightly altered ... just like pitch. Neither can be altered very much on any particular prop.
Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
