[C320-list] 3 Blade Prop needed

I have one. I have a 1999 boat with Yanmar 3GM and the prop I was sold
is 16.5 x 11 RH. Reverse performance is better than the 3 blade fixed
prop, with plenty of power and not too much prop walk. I am not
entirely happy with the unit, however. I think I was sold an
over-pitched prop, and I cannot get the boat to full RPM under power,
even with a clean bottom. (I can only get to 2600 on my tach in gear.
The tach has some calibration issues, but I can get the engine to 3200
according to the tach, out of gear. I suspect that I'm losing about 500
RPM at the top end.) I also experience substantial vibration when I
push the throttle to max.
Very happy with the sailing performance of the prop, however.
