I have a pair of Bravo props, and I'm getting suggestions to have them "Corrected". Meaning, they believe that the props come from the factory with the blades not all matching in pitch. Could this be a source of my high slip numbers? And what other options are reasonable to reduce slip numbers?

If you decide to go with truing the prop, Sante Marine on Detroit Rd. I'd recommend. They did a few props for me the last few years.

I’ve been told Bravo-1 is overstated in their pitch. So a 24 will be closer to 23 actual pitch. That’s gonna affect your slip calculations.
Just what I have read……on the internet.

They're not in Cleveland anymore. They're in Lakeside Marblehead now. The just got operations underway a few weeks ago. They acquired Sante Marine Propellers.

as stated the bravo pitch is high than the trued pitch,,,,,even mercury in their litature tells u if running a rev4 or tempest,ect to add higher pitch when go to a bravo from what pitch was running on the other props,,,
so check slip calculator using 1-2 pitch less that whats on the prop
bblades and fj propeller both true up them props daily and redesign blades and bell better matched for your boat
when u tell them the slipo and how boat riding characteristics

If you consider 1 - 2 pitch less than advertised.. do you still add 1 pitch for the cup? Slip calculator on Go-fast.com says to add 1 pitch if it's cupped.

Sorry, didn't know they moved. Their MRI truing looked good when I had it done.
