And finally: The rubber bushin

And finally: The rubber bushing on the original prop on my 1999 Tohatsu 8hp 2-stroke failed. The new prop I was supplied is a four-blade Solas 'High-Thrust' prop with a pitch of 5. It works OK but I think the engine is revving higher for the same speed and we seem to be using more fuel. The motor is an auxiliary engine on a 23 ft sailing boat. Any thoughts?
 
Your too low on the pitch. Buy

Your too low on the pitch. Buy another prop in between the 5 and whatever you had before.
