It’s not always the pitch only that makes the difference. Diameter can play into it along with blade design. I have 3 stainless props by different manufactures, all same dis and pitch. Get 3 different hole shots,top speeds and at idle speed. So I picked the one that suits what I do the best. I know nothing about that particular prop but if it dropped your rpm that much it must be getting a heck of a bite on the water. Is your solis alum or stainless? What about the eco.
