Prop pitch is somewhat like gearing in a car. If you pull more
(skiing) you need to gear down (lower pitch prop) giving you more
torque and less topspeed.


Hmm. I put a wrong prop on my fiberform years back and it just caused the boat
to "go fast" at idle; but at 1/2 throttle; it'd overheat & never go "faster"....
that's why I thought it was all designed "together"

If you are cruising with a light load you dont need lower gear/pitch
and can have a prop with high pitch and go faster.


and theoretically better fuel economy?


Getting the right prop and the right prop for the day/application can
be quiet the quest...


hmm. well; hopefully there's other Larson owners out there that can help....
