Hello! I'm looking for opinions on a prop selection. I currently have a Mercury Spitfire 10.3" dia. 13 pitch. Max rpm is just a hair short of 6200 rpm where it sounds like its just starting to slip. I really like the hole shot and overall performance, just have to keep an eye on those rpm's. I need to get another prop, so the question is: Stay with the same prop or should I go with the Spitfire 10.1" dia. 14 pitch? Its my understanding the pitch change will drop the rpm's about 200, just not sure what the smaller diameter will do. Looking for thoughts/comments from the experts. This is on a 2012 Lowe stinger 175 with Mercury 60HP 4stroke.
Thanks!
