Currently running a 10/11 turning point prop. Max. RPMs with full fuel and just me in the boat only 5300 to 5500 RPM under optimal conditions. I had 3 adults out this week in the same boat with about the same fuel load and could not get over 4700 RPM. So, obviously over propped for this heavy rig/small motor.
Is it safe to assume that I should be running a 10/10 or maybe even a 10/9 to take advantage of the extra RPM when I need it? Also looking at a Solas Amita instead of the turning point as I have had good luck with those in the past.
Most of the time a comfortable cruise seems to be 4200 to 4300 with just me in the boat.
