I currently have a 75 horse opti on a 1750 fishhawk. I have an aluminum prop with a pitch of 17. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to go with a steel prop and if so would the pitch be the same?

my suggestion
First go punch the salesman that sold you a 75 hp motor on that boat. Then go to another dealer and get bigger motor!

In all seriousness, spending 350 on a stainless prop miiiight get you 2mph top end and a bit better hole shot.
I'm not sure that is worth it on a 75? imo.
