[QUOTE="PATRIOT2, post: 230816, member: 6098"] I'd think of it like this . . . Have you ever driven a car on wet ice? It really doesn't matter what gear your in, you're going to have to feather the accelerator to get anywhere, so what difference does any amount of gears make. Since a boat prop running in water does not have near the resistance of a dry road on car tires, whatever the output gear ratio of the boat motor will be enough since you don't have any rolling resistance to overcome. The water itself causes slippage on the prop. Anyway, my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
