The prop I was running for the initial test is a 15x15 3 blade aluminum. This weekend if the weather forecast is ok, I will switch to a 3 blade 15x17 aluminum and record some numbers. I will not raise the motor just yet, because I did not feel I had optimum trim for my initial observation, and I also did not do any turning to assess blowout. I will try to do both on the next outing and then make a determination on the height after I feel I have the correct trim setting. I don't want to raise the motor, only to have to lower it again.
