Default New boat (to me) -- Need zincs/prop -- Advise?

Since I'm at the lower end of the RPM range, I'm not sure going up in
pitch

would be a wise choice.

Going down a couple of inches in pitch will get you to the higher end of
your WOT RPM and should help out the top end a bit. Like I said something
else is keeping the speed down. Have you checked it with a GPS? It's
possible that you're going faster than the speedo shows.

Going UP in pitch can help your top end, but will also LOWER the RPMs
(higher gear on a car). Going DOWN in pitch will help your LOW end (hole
shot), and will RAISE ypur RPMs and possible over rev.

Something else is holding your speed down.


Righto.. Thanks.

I knew that going down in pitch would raise the rpm -- but I was wondering
if
the increased RPM would help with the top end at all.

Since I'm at the lower end of the RPM range, I'm not sure going up in
pitch
