Campbell Sailor 3 blade

I have an E27 with a Yanmar 2GMF - 15hp. I installed a new Campbell Sailor 3 blade 12x10 prop when I converted the engine from the original Atomic 4. It is a bit over pitched. I should get 3600rpm at full throttle but only get approx 2800rpm. I am going to remove it and have it re-pitched to 12x7.

When I originally sent the specifications to the distributor, he suggested a 13x8 but I thought it would be too big. I think it would have actually fit nicely.

i was originally going to reply to this as i have an E27 with new prop, but then I noticed you have different engine.
-- so not sure if this applies because I have Atomic 4 but here is what I have and it works well:

Indigo 3 blade with winglets 10inch by 7.4 pitch. (not cheap though)

E27 prop update?

I'd be interested in an update on your prop change out. How is it working? I would love to hear from as many Ericson 27 owners about their props, engines etc. Thanks!
