Per my last post I have tested two props on my tritoon and both have high slip numbers, around 40%. Powered by a Honda 150.
Black max 3 blade 15.25x15 20mph@ 5000rpm
Solas amda 4 blade 14.75x15 22@ 5500rpm
Should I try a bigger diameter prop to reduce slip or just leave it as is ? Do you reduce pitch when trying to reduce slip ? It just seems 40 % slip is very inefficient and maybe getting it down would help the motor live longer not to mention gas mileage.
Thanks!
