Prop pitch change due to repowering

My 1994 C36, Universal M35, 30hp,1.8:1 trans, has been repowered with a Westerbeke 35E, 28hp, 2:1 trans. It seems to rev to wot way too easily, even with dirty bottom. Original 3 blade prop is 15 dia x 10 pitch. I think I'd like to increase the pitch but don't know how much?
Any input would be appreciated.
