Top end speed

[bspeth]

I'm running a 18602 with a 15014 lower bolted up.Am I losing low end torque as opposed to the factory set up? Basically I want to plane faster. I have the prop for the 15014 but I am running the prop original(as far as I can tell) to the 18602.

I have no idea what the gear ratio is between the two (15/18). However, if you're having a problem getting out of the hole, I would think that your only choice is to change to a lower pitch propeller.

Sorry,hole shot.I have the prop to the 15hp should I give it a try?

Wouldn't hurt to give it a try. JMO

I will update when I try it.Me and dad are fishing this weekend,but I don't know which set up we are going with yet.Either the 18 with elec trolling motor or just the trusty 7520.
