Default Best prop slip calculator?

Might be a dumb question but is there a calculator on the net for your particular setup? I.e. brand, length, average load... Something that pertains more to Fountain than other boat? I'm just looking for the most accurate results without having an actual module on board. Thanks for any help.

All you need to know is GPS speed and RPM... then plug it into the equation...

It doesn't matter if its and ocean liner or a bass boat, slip is slip.

If you are looking for a theoretical calculator for speed, try this one.

That actually worked pretty well for me. Except, I was estimating a little on the weight.

Our new web site will have one that breaks it down into 1/100 of a percent.

We are working hard to get it released soon!
