if you are running a 24p with the 1.5 ratio,you will need less pitch with a 1.36,probibally a 21p,or a 20.

Yeah, if your gears Are still good shape, why dont you pull the 1.36's and replace with the 1.50's? Would eliminate any guesswork...

You are right,to clear up a litle here I`m going to use a HP 500 EFI with 1,36 drive and I`m not sure what prop to begin with,the boat is a light Rib 28` boat,thanks.

A 1.50 to a 1.36 will need about 3" less pitch prop. By going to a 1.36, you will have much harder time finding the correct style of porps in a small enough pitch.

Just another shout out to stay with the 1.50:1 ratio.
Test you 24 if this is new power and you can decide where to go from there.
