How to Use the RPM Quick
Reference Chart
When selecting a propeller for an outboard and boat
application, refer to the recommended wide open
throttle operating range for the outboard model.
When determining propeller selection, choose a pro-
peller that will best suit the customer’s needs. For
example:
•
choose a higher pitch propeller for low-to-mid rpm
for light load cruising.
•
choose a lower pitch propeller to attain top rpm for
water skiing or other high load applications.
For best overall performance choose a propeller that
allows the outboard to run in the optimum rpm range,
which is usually the point of peak horsepower.
Remember, only a thorough water test will determine
which propeller works best for a particular application.
