Re: Prop size question
The theory is your diameter (usually unchanged) and the right pitch should make maximum RPM's a highest speed.
Too much pitch and the motor can not make designed in max rpms & Hp out. Too little pitch and it makes design rpm's & but less hp's than design ( 50 in your case) but the lack of adequate pitch means less water thrown and less speed through the water.
It's balancing act.
