" Had to share this with all you folks. Friend had a boat that needed a prop with more pitch so he resized and instead of losing RPM and gaining speed (as he should of) he gained RPM and lost speed!!! After some head scratching and a trip over the side with SCUBA gear, we determined that this new prop has a smaller hub and his existing prop zinc was too large a diameter and causing cavatation. Removed zinc and a happy ending. (Dont fret, we will replace zinc when we get one that is a slimline version) Hope this saves some one grief in the future. Kim "
