My new 23RFBA ESP/300hp is arriving at the dealer soon, so I spoke to the rigger and I'm a bit concerned regarding his understanding of prop pitch. He stated they would test the boat and shoot for 6000 rpm WFO lightly loaded (which makes sense), but then stated he would increase the pitch if RPM's were too low or it needed a better hole-shot. That is opposite of how I thought it works. On top of that, they don't have much experience with heavier Q's and R's compared to SX's. Hoping Bennington provides guidance.
Couple questions:
- Any recommended starting points for a R23/ESP/300 all around prop? Elevation is 795.
- I asked if it was wise to do full throttle tests in the first two hours of break-in and he stated it wouldn't be an issue. Thoughts?
I hate to micromanage, but...
