Maxi prop

I am changing out my 3 blade 15" x 12 pitch fixed prop with a 2 bladed Maxi prop. Does anyone know what the pitch should be set to? The boat is a 1986 36' TM with a universal 25 diesel.

Thanks

No offense, I use an Autoprop, but why do so many users of Maxprops want to add an "I" into the middle of the name? Really, I'm serious. Did it used to be spelled that way? It seems as though one out of three users spell it that way.

I think it's because of their logo. You could easily mistake the vertical blade for an "i". See attachment. BTW, I have the same issue with folks that say [I]hot water heater[/I]. It should really be a [I]cold water heater[/I].....or just shorten it to [I]water heater[/I]......:)

That has always bugged me too.
