"I suspect you mean a 2.15:1 r

"I suspect you mean a 2.15:1 ratio. You will have to try several propellers and see which one gives you the best hole shot and allows you to reach the maximum engine RPM. I would start testing with a 14 x 17 and take it from there. You may end needing a 14 x 17, a 14 x 19 or a 14 x 15, but you won't know for sure which one works best for you until you do some sea trials."

"Also, the ignition timing set

"Also, the ignition timing setting for your engine is as follows:

12º BTDC at 900-1000 RPM (idle speed)
27º-29º BTDC at 2000 RPM
