When keeping everything the same, raising an engine will result in an increase in rpm at the same throttle position of 125 rpm for each hole raised.

Are we measuring speed via GPS? Is the speed dlsplaying in Knts or mph?

Is the prop new in the box or used?


I am measuring speed by GPS using two devices, my Garmin, which is console-mounted, and an app on my iPhone. Both read the same. Speed was measured each time in MPH.

The prop is new, open box. Not a scratch on it still. Also purchased a new Quicksilver hub kit and installed it properly to 55 foot pounds.
