Re: help with prop size

We do need your lightly loaded wot rpm and gps speed to evaluate your setup.
If you know your gear ratio that would help.My info indicates 1.66.
Also your final prop size would depend on your typical load and activities.
The prop calculator indicates that a 15" prop,1.66 ratio at 4600 guessing 14% slip nets about 33 mph.
