Something odd about working on the boat to get it ready for the water when we have a heavy flurry going on (can't see it in the pic). Got a stainless prop for this season as well and dropped the pitch from 19 to 17. Now we just need Spring to truly show up.

What is pitch for a Prop...Like gearing for a car/bike?

Exactly. Hole shot vs top speed

Pitch is how far it will travel forward in one complete rotation, in inches. So I went from 19" to 17", with the objective being to get more spin in a same linear distance, thus providing more thrust powering up from an idle, to ease in pulling a skier/wakeboarder up out of the water faster. Hope I'm explaining it correctly, this stuff is relatively new to me.

I wonder if we combined all of your posts, could they make a single complete thought?
