Thank you
Stupid questions but #1) Do more RPMS give u more speed ? , # 2 Do more RPMs cost u more ?
Well for me I was looking for a better hole shot. Since we podded the boat it’s definitely been a lot more sluggish getting on step. I am out testing my 15 pitch prop and I have gained 600 more rpm and lot better response getting my boat on step.
Recommended RPM is a guide to setting up the motor so it isn't over worked. More RPMs is less speed. The pitch of a prop is the distance one revolution in inches that the boat would move forward. Higher pitch number less rpm
Thanks for info , didnt know that
It’s an extension
Sorry it’s not a hull extension
After changing from a stainless 17 pitch prop that was giving me 4800 rpm. I switch to my 15 pitch prop which is aluminum I am now getting 5400 rpm. Gets on step much better then it did.
You’ll notice your fuel economy is going to improve as well. It’s all about the efficiency of the toro. I switched from 19 to 17 and I feel like my motor doesn’t end to work that hard anymore. Same cruising speed at lower RPM and I burn less fuel too. My mechanic told me that almost all the OEM props aren’t the right ones for the type of boat that they’re installed for.
Your mechanic is correct
When I am out next time I am going to have a look thank you. And I did adjust my motor higher from my first post. I got some work done on my motor and they checked it out for me and brought my motor up almost two inches.What you're looking for is the anti-ventilation plate (the plate just above the prop) to be skimming the surface of the water when running and trimmed normally, like this:
No on a trailer !!
