I have a 19p 4 blade aluminum Solas prop currently. With me and my wife on board i believe the WOT is about 4600 RPM trimmed up. I also have a Solas 21p 3 blade aluminum prop that gets about the same RPM. My question is does that RMP seem about right? Am I trimming up far enough? Not sure how far to trim up, assuming the further up i trim i bring the RPM's up. Thanks for your advice.
 
Generally the range is 4400-4800 RPM for the 4.3. Sounds like you are good with either prop. Not sure about the trim. At that RPM and prop size you should be jumping on plain very quickly.
