Thanks for sharing, I live on the Snake river in Idaho and have been studying your work to help repair exactly what happened to this prop. Boat ramps all over have the same appetite for props! God Bless.
think of it like a screw going into wood. The higher the pitch, the further the screw goes in. But it takes more effort. A higher pitch prop will make a boat go faster but accelerate slower…generally speaking. The idea is to get a propeller that is pitched so that your boat’s engine will reach maximum rpm, typically 4600 – 5000 rpm for an I/O. Too high of pitch and you won’t reach that, too low and you can over rev the engine.

Can you show how to put cup on the trailing edge of a prop?
