    15 HP Johnson throttle problems

    6 HP Evinrude prop question

    I just bought a 1972 6 hp Evinrude. It runs good, but I was wondering if I could increase the speed by switching to a 3 blade prop. It currently has the standard two blade prop. How will this affect the performance? How do pitch and blade size impact performance?
