The lower unit and engine will never know. Since the prop is smaller and allows the engine to rev to 5500 at wot, its the same load as if it had its normal props on it.

An outboard motor doesnt know if it pushing a bassboat at 70mph or a 50ft barge at 7mph if it is propped correctly to hit wot rpm. The size of the propeller adjusts the load on the engine and lower unit.
