If changing from alluminum prop to stainless should you step down with pitch

Re: prop pitch

I believe the general rule of thumb is that you should. But every boat/situation is different.

Re: prop pitch

IF I remember correctly it should be in the ball park of 200 rpm, At least that is what I think I remember reading a few years ago when I was re-propping my boat.

Re: prop pitch

That's about the best thing you can do. Try it and see how it works out for your needs/situation.
