[QUOTE="jethro, post: 451949, member: 12381"] I have a kicker motor that I want to try and get a [u][b]slower[/b][/u] prop for. I know it's uncommon, but I'd like to run the motor a little higher in the RPMs while going slower. I can't figure out what my motor came with stock, there is nothing written on it anywhere unless I just don't know where to look. My motor is a 2004 Mercury 6hp 4 stroke. As I understand one concern with prop selection is making sure it doesn't allow too high an RPM... is this a concern with a 4 stroke though? I have to imagine even this small motor has a timing based rev limiter? What number makes a slower prop... say I have a 9 pitch, is 6 pitch a slower prop? [/QUOTE]
