Default Re: Inboard prop size
I have a 350, 315 HP and have a 17 x 16 with a little cup and turn around 4600. At 3000 I'm running 23-24 and burning around 9.5-9.8 gal's per hour. At 3200 I'm running 26-27 and burn 10.5 gal per hour. You need to have it proped so you can turn 46-4800 rpm with a good load in it (full tanks-three people) or the engine is lugging which is not good for it.
