I have a 21 pitch prop I was considering getting pitched down to a 19. Wot rpm are a little low and I would prefer hole shot over top speed. I am idling around 2.5 miles per hour when I troll fish. Will a lower pitch slow this number down also, and will the drop in speed be noticeable at all?

Re: idle speed prop question

What is the engine idling at? Should be in the 600 - 650 range. If it's higher than that you need to back it down.
