I have a 40 hp, 1986 Yamaha outboard. I've been running a 10 1/4" x 14G prop. But I have found that this motor will also accommodate a 10 3/8" x 13G prop. ( I don't know what the G stands for).
The top end RPM on the engine is 4500-5500 and I am planing at about 25-30 mph at top speed with the 10 1/4" x 14G prop.
My question is what, if anything, would I gain by switching to the 10 3/8" x 13G prop?
Thanks.
