Hoping to get some advice and clarity.
I have a 2006 60hp Yamaha High Thrust, 3-blade aluminum, 13k Pitch.
The boat is a 1998 15' 8" edgewater cc, boat weighs 800 pds.
Top Speed is 22knots at 55rpm.
Trolling Speed is 7-9 knots from 35-39rpm.
I want to get lower rpm during trolling speeds to save on gas. I heard I should go 4 blade stainless and that should drop rpm 1-2000rpm on average.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Mike
