Good point on the trim pin. Adjust pin so that the cavitation plate is parallel to the bottom of the boat. Then add ballast to the boat in the front or rear to make the boat run level as needed,or with the bow lightened and just on the edge of porpoising. Michigan Wheel prop 10 1/2 x 11 #SMC52 is bronze or a #SMC53 three blade aluminum. Or a #AMC464 10×11 4 blade bronze. Or #012027 10 1/2 x 10 The first three are vintage props available used. The last would be new, but may be too low a pitch. you really need to test your current prop with a tachometer to figure out the best option with out buying more props to find out.
