- Miles per hour (mph): Speed (1 mph ≈ 1.609 km/h)
- Pounds (lb): Weight (1 lb ≈ 0.454 kg)
Understanding Your Results
- Propeller Diameter: Width of the propeller’s blade circle. Larger diameters suit heavier boats or wakeboarding/wakesurfing.
- Propeller Pitch: Distance the boat moves forward per revolution. Lower pitch improves hole shot; higher pitch increases speed.
- Blade Count: Number of blades (3 or 4). 4-blade props offer better low-end power for wake sports; 3-blade for skiing speed.
- Propeller Model: ACME model number (e.g., 1234, 2097) for your boat and goal.
- Rotation: Direction of prop spin (R = right, L = left). Twin-engine boats may need both.
- Propeller Slip: Difference between theoretical and actual travel (10–20% typical for inboards).
- WOT RPM: Engine RPM at full throttle. Should be within 4800–5500 RPM for inboard engines.
- Top Speed: Estimated maximum speed with the recommended propeller.
