After finally getting my boat in the water for the season I had a chance to test out my newly installed indigo prop and new prop shaft. In forwards the results are quite amazing -- at least 1.5knots faster and the engine just sounds better running with it. In reverse I'm noticing the opposite, the power is reduced substantially, so much so that now I can barely use reverse to stop the boat against a current or tailwind.
Is this common with this prop or is it possible I need to adjust the reverse gear as a result of the new prop and shaft?
