Hi, I have an 8hp mariner (1991) and it is a very powerful motor. On my old boat it would push me along at 17 Mph and on the smaller, lighter Zodiac C310 (3.1m) it gets up to 23 Mph, but with the drop in weight, the engine seems to be revving much higher than it used to do (stock prop) and I wondered if adding a higher pitch prop would help drop Rpm's and boost top end speed? I think the stock prop is 7" and would a stainless 8-9" prop (Solas 3 blade) be a good idea?
Thanks, Jack
