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"

There are limits ... there will be a few pitch and prop sizes that
work with your boat and different load condiditons.... others will not
make sense.

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?

Yes versus using a prop with very low pitch with a light load.


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....


has nothing to do with the brand, rather with HP, gear ratio, boat
shape and weight.
