[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 503423, member: 21536"] Because I'm curious and asking dumb questions doesn't bother me. Suppose the following: 1. Idle RPMs are correct and at idle the boat speed is 2.3 mph. 2. With the current prop the motor is running below the WOT specified RPMs. 3. Prop is replaced with a lower pitch one to raise the WOT throttle RPMs to where they belong. I understand, I think, that idle RPMs won't change. My question is does that lower pitch prop have any impact on the boat's speed at idle? [/QUOTE]
