Default Clocking 3-blade Catto

I have looked through the forums and have only found threads about indexing 2-blade props. I am hoping this means there have not been any issues with
3-blade props and vibrations.

I am getting ready to mount my new 3-blade Catton on an XP IO-360 and am looking for any advice.

Thanks,

Tom

1. Assuming the prop is correctly balanced, there are only two positions available (6 bolts, 3 blades..).
2. If you don't like one, try the other.

(Your configuration is same as mine)
