Have you put a lower pitch prop on? Or a four blader?

thanks for the reply, my prop is set perfect for the rpm at wot, i didnt want to drop a pitch or 2 as i might end up over reving the engine do you think i will be ok dropping a few pitches even though my prop is spot on with rpm ?

I would leave that prop as is and buy another just for skiing. A four blade prop will give you loads of bite and pull your skier up nice and easy. But why not speak to an expert. Try Dave Harwood at Steel Devolpments in London.

They are really helpful propeller experts and always have a range of secondhand props.

Just found his phone number it's 020 8874 7059

Tell him Dave Webber put you on to him and he'll give you all the advice you need. They have been fixing, repairing, re pitching, selling and making props for years.

I can sort you a set of trim tabs if you require them.
