If your at half throttle and at 3k, have you ever ran it all the way on the throttle? I'd say your over pitched at this point. There are several online websites that will take everything into consideration and give you your prefered pitch for your boat. However, I would call a local prop shop, they have the experience and would probably help you. Repitching is a no brainer - sometimes our boats are handed over to a repair facility, a relative or close friend, being properly pitched eliminates the possibility of someone over revving our plants by accident.
