    Wrecked boat, repaired now problems with rpm.

    You could but need all the special tools to set preload and tolerances Maybe, but if you could find a prop shop, many times they let you try props. It's usually buy the prop and it will be exchanged

    Wrecked boat, repaired now problems with rpm.

    2007 Larson cabrio 240 beeping and in limp mode

    Thanks 5.0GXI-GF and has 555 ECM and HSV distributor My guess is it's a sensor that lost connection (exhaust temp, water temp, oil pressure, other) but this is just a guess. These new motors need a scanner to tell us what's happening. If you can get it scanned for codes we would have a...

    Properly handling estuary, gotcha's etc.

    Someone like @dingbat might be best, but most lines on charts are "suggested best routes" and are there for commercial traffic. NOAA has a legend for their charts, it is a good read but will take some time, 132 pages https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/publications/docs/us-chart-1/ChartNo1.pdf

    Propping Twins Preference/ Theory

    Prop for max RPM As Ted said your not going to get on plane with one motor no matter what. Even if you lift the drive full out the boat will not handle very well at all.
