Larry, yours was a non-sequitur and incorrect to boot. Yes, a 2GM will
smoke when overloaded, but if run at 3600 for an hour, it will overheat
as designed and advertised. You can run it at 3200 all day though.

If your 2GM will turn that prop at 3600 RPM it's NOT overloaded, just
overrevved. Overloaded you'll never get to 3000 RPM with a too-big pitch.
