    too much pitch would bring the RPM down….Think of prop pitch kind of like gear selection in a manual shift car…The lower gears give higher RPM at a specific speed, higher gears bring the RPM down. The difference is that boats don’t glide along like cars, lots of drag and friction between the hull and water.
