Hello all,
I took my boat out for the first time and noticed that it seemed to run at low RPM. The RPMs were showing 4700-4800 at the most at full throttle on plane.
The current prop is a 15 pitch Rapture stainless and I'm thinking this may be too low of a pitch. I had a friend recommend a 19 or 21 pitch for my motor/boat size.
The boat is 18'4, and I will normally run it at 3550-3600 feet elevation. On the date in question I was at 1500 feet.
Thanks for your help!
Steve
