Default Re: open for comments - V20 - 225 Honda

reelapeelin,
At first he said I had the wrong prop.
He said the big Hondas like big diameter props, and that I should probably go to a 15 or 15 1/4 " prop. Then he said the pitch would have to be reduced to 15 degrees - he said I probably wouldn't like it because the top speed would go down to about 40mph. Then he did some calculations and said I was getting only 8 % slip, and that I would be ok with the prop I have. He did say that prop was great in rough seas. I was out 2 weeks ago at Key Largo and was trolling in 5' seas - the boat and motor were great.
