Greetings from DownUnder.
I have a 32 Island Gypsy and need some help with a propellor size for my vessel. Running a Ford Lehman SP135 so I have bags of power but cannot get past 7 knots at WOT at 1900 RPM.
.
Does anyone know of a suitable prop size that will help me reach 8 knots?
Those in the know say I need larger diameter prop. Current unit is 22" in diameter. Gearbox is a Borg Warner velvet drive unit at 2.01:1 reduction.
Your help would be appreciated
Cheers
