In that case a prop with lower pitch is the right way to go. At least
the motor will be operating within its designed range and you might be
able to get on plane if you're really lightly loaded.


You almost have me convinced to put a different prop on it. If I do, I
will Tach it first like someone else suggested.

I put a lower pitch prop and a Doel-fin on our Honda 4 stroke and it
made all the difference in the world. As a bonus you end up with a
spare prop. :-)
