[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 195434, member: 437"] Runaway as in feeling like it slipped? Could have just been cavitation if it was an abrupt throttle down and rethrottle. If it jumps right out of the hole, chances are that you may be underpropped. I wouldn't think that it would turn 7 grand without something letting loose but you never know but an 11 pitch does seem kind of small for a 40. Being on a 17 foot boat is probably going to exaggerate the 200 rpm for every inch of prop increase rule, though. [/QUOTE]
