[QUOTE="Rat, post: 348863, member: 1914"] You need a tachometer to get the prop pitch right. [url]https://www.amazon.com/Penny-Tachometer-Stroke-Outboard-Mercury/dp/B00ACDP6YU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1397616805&sr=8-4&keywords=tiny+tach[/url] Forget speed until you get the prop right and then adjust height and trim to get the best speed without ventilation. Also get a Dole-Fin or similar hydrofoil. If the engine is marginal (for the loaded weight of the boat) it will help get the hull on plane quicker. [url]https://www.basspro.com/Doelfin-Hydrofoil-Stabilizer/product/27337/[/url] Prop selection without a tach is expensive and frustrating. [/QUOTE]
