"I am currently in the process

"I am currently in the process of rebuilding my alpha 1 outdrive unit, I was wondering if you change the gearing from 1.50 to 1.64 could I go up to an 18 pitch prop vs current 16 pitch and mantain the engine in the proper 4400-4800 rpm range? Right now the engine runs at WOT at 4500 rpm with a top speed of 34 mph.

thanks/Phil"

"Ayuh,......

I'm not Sure that 2" of pitch would make the Same difference,.....
But,.....
Gearing to a lower ratio Will allow you to get up into the more popular Prop Pitches available......"
