Does a long shaft on an outboard effect the prop that should be used? I understand how pitch and size of prop work and to monitor tach to make sure prop is functioning in range. My 16 ft. conquest has a '86 50 HP Eventide long shaft and I need to get an idea of were to start with a replacement prop.
Second question: how do I tell what the pitch is on my current prop?
Ultimately I am looking for some speed and to have current prop as a spare. My OB is very quick to plane and can be adjusted when more boaters are traveling with me.
Last note: I need to install tach. Will ask the google and the motor guys.
Thank you
Mike
