21 pitch prop

[Cool It]

Thanks to all who answered and helped me change my prop in the water. I put on a 21 pitch prop going up from a 17 pitch it looks liked it help to keep my rpms done because they were blowing out after 3200 now I can push the throttle up and the rpms seem to go up nicely. I still have not put extra weight on other than me and my son so I will need to see if we plane off ok with extra bodies. <br /><br />The prop dealer said that this prop should not be used fo a 22'W/A Cuddy 5.0 alpha one says the pitch is for a smaller/lighter boat -- does anyone have an opinion on that.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Cool It

Re: 21 pitch prop

Is There any harm to the engine because the higher pitch is meant to push a smaller boat according to the charts????<br /><br />Thanks <br />Cool It

Cool it,<br />If the Engine can Not make the Max rated RPMs at WOT........<br /><br />Yes,<br />You're Lugging the motor....<br />And,<br />Yes, it'll lead to Problems..........<br /><br />It's the Tachometer, Not a Chart, that'll tell you IF you have the Right Prop..........
