How fast will a 3hp outboard go?
To give you a simple reference, a 3 hp electric outboard can push a 12 ft boat with 150 kg (331 lbs) load at a max speed of 9 km/h (5.6 mph). That’s to say the 3 hp outboard motor can provide more than sufficient propulsion for a 10 ft tender or work as an auxiliary power for a daysailer of up to 1.5 tonnes (3307 lbs).
What pitch prop makes your boat go faster?
Lowering prop pitch will increase acceleration and thrust. Increasing prop pitch will make the boat go faster (provided the engine has enough power to keep the RPMs in the optimum operating range.
Will a smaller prop make my boat faster?
A lighter boat will accelerate more quickly and run with reduced drag because the hull rides a little higher in the water. It may also be more responsive to trim, which can further reduce drag.

How much thrust does a 3hp Outboard have?
A 3 hp outboard will blow a 50 pound thrust electric motor out of the water – I have both and can make that statement. I can hold the boat with the 3 hp running so it isn’t pushing a tremendous amount. A 5 hp probably has somewhere near or over 200 pounds of thrust.
How fast will a 15hp outboard go?
