Hello,
I have a 1986 Monk 36 with a Lehman 135 engine and a Newage 401 2.5:1 transmission. The propeller is a 24:22, and she averages 7.5 knots at 2000rpm, 9 WOT at 2600 (which I only do for diagnostics lol).
I am wondering if people could share similar data. I am considering increasing the propeller pitch but of course do not want to overload the engine. I am not sure if the propeller is original, as it seems to be in excellent shape for a boat this age.
