Is there a formula or "rule of thumb" to calculate RPM changes when changing pitch on the same prop? Example: If I'm running a 27p Bravo 1 XS @ 5600 RPM and go to a 25p Bravo 1 XS, can I estimate the RPM change?

400 ish difference at the same speed. If you gain speed you may see more.

Ok, is that 200 per 1" of pitch so from a 27" to 25" it would be about 400?

Yes. There are variables. Not every propeller is created equally.

Mercury website has a prop selector page that will tell you speed and rpms if you already have a known rpm/pitch and speed on current prop setup
It's 150-200rpms for 1" of pitch depending on if the prop's have similar slip. There's so many different variables it's hard to put an exact number on it.
Thanks for the info!
