My boat came with a two blade feathering Maxi. It has an adjustable pitch
by resetting gears when the prop cover is open. I also had a problem with
engine rpm until I reduced the pitch by two degrees, but I can't remember
whether it was 24 down to 22 or 22 down to 20. In any event it worked just
great afterwards.
