Prop-RPM Question
I'm currently running Bravo1 26 pitch props on my boat. I think they are perfect for all around boating. I spin them at 5600 wot (yes the engines can handle that) and get 51 mph @3500 for the cruise.
I just picked up a set of 28 Bravo1's yesterday. I figure that they will be great for long trips (cruising) but I'm wondering what rpm I should be able to spin them at wot? Also, what speed should I see @ 3500?
Thanks in advance,
Craig

I did you a favor buddy!! It would have cost you way too much money for a prop shop to fabricate new hubs to fit on those needledick shafts of your 7.5 HP outboards!!

Re: Prop-RPM Question
we can Lab these props for 200.00 each,let me know!
they will be surley better crusing props and mid range will be alot better,but I am sure they need labbed if you want to turn more rpm's.As they will be somewhat on the low side,if you can turn 5,600
