[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 419610, member: 7376"] I've never seen the Mercury prop slip calculator, and just used it. Shows my slip at 5% :shock: . I don't see a need in changing anything, do you? OP.....can you borrow a 15" to try? The old adage of 200 rpm per inch of pitch is not always accurate. Especially on these "little" motors. It might be close when you're 100+ hp but it's been my experience that it's not accurate at all on anything 50hp and smaller. Maybe just my weird experiences? [/QUOTE]
