New Tuffy 1700, 115 Optimax. Mercury Black Max, 17 pitch.

Initially, the trim/torque tab was mis-adjusted. The boat pulled hard to the right and leaned hard to the left. During that time I achieved 5400 RPMs and 40 mph.

I re-adjusted the trim tab (trailing edge rotated from left of center to equidistant to the right of center), and now the boat runs straight and level - phew. However, I had the boat out with just myself and got 5200 RPMs and 38 mph, and with two people, it was closer to 5000 RPMs and 37 mph.

Engine is mounted with one hole above the bolts, and will usually be run with one person, occassionally two, and rarely three people.

So, any advice on what prop I should be running/trying?

Thanks!
