Default weight of prop vs. the outdrive.

It's not MY theory, and it's not theory. thanks for the input. I remember
now why I left this group 3 years ago.

flexes - I think that's generally accepted; but flexes to the point of
loosing
2" of pitch? I find that hard to believe.

On this theory; I'm giong to be way under propped as I had a SS 19 and I
went to
an aluminum 17; so on your theory; this will be like a 15 pitch SS....
