-Mercruiser 470 4-cylinder 170 HP.
-1.84 ratio outdrive.
-23 pitch prop
-Loadout: 1/4 tank fuel, one battery, some inflatables, one 200 lb man and one 40 lb dog.
Almost a direct ratio on rpm vs speed. 2000 rpm is 17 mph, 2500 rpm is 23 mph, 3000 rpm is 31 mph, 3500 rpm is 34 mph and 4000 (WOT 4200 rpm) is 41-43 depending on trim and surface conditions.
Soon to post a comparison of the 25" Pitch prop I recently purchased.
