5 HP Suzuki prop help

[riddleofsteel]

I bought an extra prop for my engine. I ordered it according to the markings on the prop;

F610
200x170

When the prop came it it was marked

F710
200x190



I did some digging and I "think" that the 170 prop is a 6.6" pitch and the 190 prop is a 7.4" pitch prop.

I also checked the box the prop came in and it is marked F710 so they sent the wrong prop.

Before I send it back what is that gonna do to performance? If you can use that term for a 5 HP engine.

As I understand it it will run faster top end and have slower out of the hole and pulling power.

How much difference will 6.5 to 7.5 make?

thanks

there won't be that a big difference, I would just keep it, you can always switch props for different conditions on the water .....
