The outboard manufacturers will advise that if the motor isn't propped to reach max rpm, the engine is not running properly, and damage possible.

Over propped, lower rpm.........engine is working too hard and strains.
Under propped, higher than recommended WOT rpm, and spinning too fast.

Some of you may disagree, but that's the general standard .
