    My numbers are higher than my Hydromotive numbers were.. i seem to get 8-9% using stamped
    pitch even after having them tightened up

    I feel maybe the older ones may have/must have been steeper as when they first came out people
    claimed they were stiff...compared to my old Hydromotive’s they seem light on pitch...

    For my 30p Promax, slip is 7% if you enter the pitch as a 30 and 10% if you enter the pitch as a 31 (you are supposed to add 1 inch to the stamped pitch for cupped props as per the instructions).

    Really only ran it once without the ring to 91.8 @ 5970.. 91.7 @ 6070 one run.. did not have good water and did not play with heights.
