I'm considering buying a used set of counter rotating props as a back up. My current props for my 150 Yami 4 strokes are Yamaha Stainless 14 1/4 x 18. The props for sale are 15 1/4 x 17.

What will these different props that are larger with less pitch do to the RPM's on my engines? It would be nice to have back up props, but I don't want to lug the engines. WOT was around 5600-5800 RPM now.

Are the backups the SWS II?

If so they're big props with a lot of blade area. I lost about 700 rpm when I tried one on my single F150. It was the same 15 1/4" x 17" you're looking at.
