24 Pitch Prop To A 22 Pitch Prop

What can I realistically expect to gain or lose going from a 24 to a 22? My 24 pitch Raker prop is in the shop getting reworked and he gave me a 22 pitch to run till I get old one back. Thanks

Assuming same diameter, you’ll lose top end speed but get better hole shot.

All depends on your rpms. Were you getting to your engine's max rpm with the 24? Some actually gain speed by pitching down. I did on my current boat. The manufacturer must have been out of 23 Furys and shipped it with a 24. Too much prop for my boat/engine.

same on my boat. I worked mine down a pitch from what came on the boat.

I gained about 3-4mph going from a 21 pitch to a 23 pitch, and my boat runs more level with the 23. It lifts the stern more than the 21 pitch. It’s not a huge difference though. That 22 will be fine for a backup. You might not even notice the difference unless you run your boat wide open like I do lol

Also makes a difference if 4blade, 3 blade, so on.. lot of variables can change how it will effect your boat. I would just run it and see.
Main thing I’ve always been told to look for is that you can hit the upper RPM ranges at WOT. For example if you can only hit 4800 rpm wide open, it’s not good for the engine. Don’t think you want to be hitting the rev limiter at 3/4 throttle either (as the other extreme).
I’ve always aimed to get somewhere around 5600-6000rpms wide open.

Ideally you'd be right at the rev limiter light boat.
