[QUOTE="lugoismad, post: 451958, member: 16518"] Each degree of pitch is 6% of change in the pitch of the prop blades. so a 12 pitch prop is 6% more aggressive than an 11 pitch prop. a 12 pitch prop would (without any loss due to slippage) go through 12 inches of water in one full revolution. An 11 pitch, 11 inches. And so forth. It sounds to me like you want a lower pitch prop. This would allow you to run higher RPM because your prop is grabbing less water. Unfortunately, I don't know enough to answer the rest, sorry. [/QUOTE]
