Default Decrease boat from leaning.

I want to try to cut down prop diameter to see if that reduce the boat from leaning to the left side.
The engine is a Verado 350 SCI and the prop is Bravo1 24P.
Is there any rule to follow here to how large Bravo1 prop to start cutting on to give me the same rpm?
I guess it's a rule hove much you can cut a prop?
I need to use the left tab always so hopefully smaller diameter will reduce that need.
Will cutting of an larger Bravo1 be the same as an smaller diameter prop like Turbo 24P or vill the worked Bravo1 probably give better performance?

You could try a Rev4 or Mirage+ prop. The B1 may not be the best prop.

Hi Patos,

The torque seem to be higher than the PM 300 I earlier had, and I also see that the boat leans more to port than before. I use a Tempest 25 A45. It leaned even more with a 4bl Hydromotive.

Have you put the battery and hydraulic pump on the starboard side. You should to offset the prop torque.

Cheeers! Toffen

Yes,I have tried to move more veight to the starboard side.
I have even tested with my mother in law on that side :-)
Tested a lot of props,but I love the Bravo1 because of the response and the top speed.
The Rev4 was also good but not the same grip and to much bow lift for my boat.
