Last year I bought a 2010 Beneteau Antares 580 with a BF75D 2007 mounted.
Untill now I mainl6 used it at low speeds for trolling but last week I took it for a 15 mile trip to the drydock to revise the engine.
It only picked up speed when I surfed some waves , otherwise it kept speed at about 13 knots.
The mecanic (not a Honda mecanic) said it could be the prop, which was new when I bought the boat.
What prop is recommended for a 2000 lb vessel ?
don’t need speed, the seas around here in the Biscay bay area normally don’t allow so.
inside the bay it gets up to speed,around 25 knots,but otherwise it doesn’t get in to plane easily.
thanks
