[alberg30] Diesel Prop Size/Pitch

Robin, Sounds like that old bugaboo cavation.  I run a 13 - 7 prop.  At 1400 
or 1500 it's just fine, but try 1700 or higher and I get that sound.  So I 
don't do it that high. Pitch is thrust.  To power through a nasty chop, you 
need a lower pitch.  For the max speed in flat water, a higher pitch, just 
like the overdrive in your car.  I t will shift to a lower gear (lower pitch) 
 to climb a hill.
