I have a Raker 26p prop, and only turning 4800rpm at W.O.T. can anyone tell me around about what pitch prop i might need to get my rpms up around 5800? I'm thinking a 25p, or maybe a 24p.
You're not really "IN" the power band yet.... the 200 per inch is out the window here. The 4-blde you mention may give the same RPM with less speed if just bolted on, and as with any prop, you must maximize the set-up so the engine is as high as the prop and/or water pressure will allow.
The 24P raker may get you what you need by adding additional lift and speed to reduce drag....this is where the 200/inch goes out the door...
Decrease drag by raising engine, which will increase speed lifting boat more creating lower drag.
Where is the mention of this being an ETEC? is that what we're looking at here?
