[QUOTE="Taxin_That_Bass, post: 437625, member: 22527"] I will try to get a pic of it tonight. I hate buying props without trying them, but i might order a 11x9 solas and see what that does. I'm pretty confident my rpm measurement is correct, but just to confirm, i got one of those induction tachs where you wrap it around the spark plug wire. There are three settings on it, 1 pulse per 1 rev, 2 pulse per 1 rev, 1 pulse per two revs. I at first set it to one pulse per one rev but it was obviously way too high, i changes to 2 pulse per 1 rev and then the numbers looked more believable. I guess some of these older outboards will spark when the piston is at bottom dead center as well as TDC? [/QUOTE]
