![]() 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.... --- Remove x's to send. |
