Looking to upgrade to a SS steel prop on my toon.
2015 Southbay 223CR with 2015 Honda 115 OB.
Current prop is a Solas Amira 3 15.5” Diameter x 13” Pitch aluminum.
With our usual load of gear, 3/4 tank of gas, and 2 people I’m hitting 6100 RPMs with a top speed of about 26-28.
Solas New Saturn SS props start at 14.5” Diameter x 15” Pitch.
I’m completely lost at this point. I would like a little more speed (but I’m realistic), and wouldn’t mind dropping the RPMs to 6000 or slightly below.
Is jumping to a 15” SS with less diameter vs. a 13” aluminum something I should explore. Or should I stick close to the 13” Pitch spec?
