Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
There are more things than a prop that will cause the rpms to be 1000 low, and I seriously doubt it would be the prop since 1" of pitch only changes the rpm by 100 to 150 rpm. That would requires a lot of change. 7 to 10 of pitch change.
Yes, it worked, you can now click on the pictures and they get bigger.
While the drive looks like a 270, it could also be a 250. They look the same, but the 250 had staight gears, not helical.
