[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 417613, member: 13702"] I had a slip issue with my prop with my RPMs on the max end of the recommended range & the prop shop I took the prop to suggested adding a cupped edge to my existing prop before I try monkeying around with changing propellers - worked very well. Cut my slippage from 36% to 20% on my (as loaded rather weighty) 1436. Dunno how that compares to a 1648 -- but perhaps if people use a slip calculator with their speed, prop & RPM specs they'd be able to give you an idea of the slip they're seeing. https://www.mercuryracing.com/prop-slip-calculator/ [/QUOTE]
