If your test results in your being able to over-rev the engine, you need to increase the pitch of the propeller. If during this test, you begin to exceed the maximum rated RPM of the engine, reduce throttle setting to a position where maximum RPM is not exceeded. Adjust the motor trim angle for the optimum performance. under normal operating load to determine the maximum RPM you are able to obtain. The correct propeller will prevent the engine from going beyond its maximum rated RPM, yet allow it to reach the minimum rated RPM where maximum horsepower is produced. This will be expressed in terms of a certain horsepower at a certain RPM (revolutions per minute).The goal in prop selection is to determine what propeller style and size will maximise performance for your boat, while allowing your engine to operate in the recommended RPM range. The best propeller size for your boat and engine combination is based on the recommended operating range at wide open throttle (w.o.t.) for your engine, which you will find in your operator’s manual. Thus the slip is 6.06 knots, which is 11.3% of 53.56, so the slip is 11.3%. If there was no slip, the speed would be (5800/1.87) x 21 inch/minute x brackets, the units of inch, minute, ft, nautical mile and hour cancel out, leaving the speed in knots. Here’s an example: A top speed of 47.5 knots is achieved at 5800 rpm with a 1.87:1 lower unit gear reduction and a 21-inch pitch prop.

More mathematically inclined readers may care to calculate the slip at full throttle on their own boat. The ultimate speedsters like racing hydroplanes have propellers with little slip, that gets down as low as 3-5% in some instances. Slip varies through the range but a general rule of thumb puts displacement boats at about 30%, planing hulls at 20-25%, twin rigs at 15-20%, and faster sports and performance boats at 10-12%. A propeller with 20% slip can in some instances be quicker than one with 15%. Slippage is usually expressed as a percentage of the pitch. For example, a 21-inch pitch propeller would propel a boat 21 inches forward with each revolution it made, less an allowance for what is called Dzslippagedz. This amount is determined by what is known as the PITCH of the blade. These blades are attached and shaped at such angles that with each revolution the boat is propelled a certain distance forward.

A new propeller's hub and blades must be checked for sufficient lower unit and trim tab clearances before use.
