Engine runs fine, once again. Took the P-23 out to bench mark the original prop. 6.0 knots forward speed full throttle, 0.9 knots reverse full throttle. Too windy to put the boat up to change the prop. Will try early tomorrow before the thermals kick up. Will repeat the test with the new 6.5 inch pitch three blade prop. The original prop is rough with visible erosion on the trailing edges. Engine is a 9.9 Electric/Remote Mercury 2 cycle.
