Re: Best WOT rpm?
No. Going down in pitch is the last resort to increase the rpm's with an outboard. Stick with the 19" range, especially for testing. Theres no reason you cant swing one. Once we test the ss props you can start raising the motor. That alone will make the set up more efficient. Less drag etc. Not to mention the ss props will most likely have more lift (reduces wetted surface and again reduces drag while increasing efficiency).<br /><br />If youre not planning on adding a jackplate, and theres nothing wrong with not adding one, we should look at Stilettos in the 3 blade style. By all means if you have the opportunity to try any brand, do so. The more info you have the better decision you will make later.<br /><br />The style gearcase you have now uses the V6 style props. Thats good. Larger diameter is always better in my opinion. <br /><br />Let me know whaen your ready to test some. I may have some. I may even have a 19 Ballistic.
