Hi,
I'm looking to buy a SOLAS stainless steel propeller and I have a few questions ...
The recommended engine wot for mercury 60 efi is 5500-6000, with solas amita 3-blade prop I have a 5700 rpm (11 1/8 x 13) but very poor cruising speed, with solas amita 3 blade 11 1/8 x 14 pitch I have a 5100 rpm and great cruising speed (but WOT is too low), and now I'm looking for a stainless steel prop that will provide a friction between those two, and which will raise the speed in relation to this prop 13" pitch with which I have a low speed (I'm talking about cruising speed).
I have been thinking about solas Saturn and New Saturn prop, but I'm a little rebel fact that new Saturn has a larger blade area, so I wonder what you think is the difference in surface or in rpm's between Saturn and New Saturn, or what would you recommend?
tnx
