I am running a 2014 30HP on a heavy displacement hull, with the 11" pitch prop as supplied my WOT is only 3500 RPM but the boat will cruise at about 5 knots (my preferred speed) at about 2000 RPM.
Is this doing any harm to the engine?
I have purchased an 8" pitch prop and this will allow 5500 RPM WOT but at the speed I prefer (5 Knots) engine speed is 3000 RPM and the overall effect is more noise and presumably fuel consumption than using the original prop (11")
What would you recommend?
