proper prop pitch
I still do not know if my prop is pitched right and do not even know
my real mpg for my Tolman. Whenever I look at my fuel meter and divide the speed by it I get roughly 4-4.5 mpg. HOWEVER, I have only had the boat to WOT twice because conditions never allow it. When I was at WOT, I forgot to look at the tach. This means I cannot determine if I am pitched right for WOT. BUT, does WOT mean anything if conditions do not allow me to use it? I cannot complain about fuel usage because i have never used more than 7 gallons/day, even when we spent the afternoon with 6 people aboard towing the tube (90 hp 2 cycle Yamaha). My recent scalloping trips used only 6 gallons each. With so little fuel usage, is there any reason to worry about proper pitch? |
