Does "larger" in this context mean both diameter and pitch? I ask because my eventual conversion boat has a very limited diameter it can accomodate (due to hull shape in the critical area), so I could only increase pitch to take advantage of this torque feature of an electric conversion. Or are my dreams futile??

However, an electric motor has more torque at lower rpms and has an almost flat torque curve so can turn a larger propeller slower which is far more efficient.This is the greatest advantage over internal combustion engines.But if you don't change the propeller, you give up the best advantage of the electric conversion - using a larger, more efficient prop!JamesPropulsion Marine
