The left most colums are simply the data as reported. The next three columns take the same data and rank it by ascending vessel speed at those particular column heading rpm settings. Red indicates the unit was outside the minimum rpm required as indicated in the Voile report.

What it shows is the Kiwiprop on this installation was very highly ranked at all three cruise speeds relative to all other units that met warranty criteria. There is no reason why users cannot expect similar relative performance from their own installation bearing in mind the constraints in place for this evaluation.  Boats that have more displacement, shorter waterline lengths, greater wetted area, steeper shaft angles, less power or higher rpm shaft speeds will invariably have lower speeds than reported on this vessel.

Cruise Speeds vs Max RPM Achieved:

The following graph from the full report above shows by plotting speed at cruise rpm of 2200 on the Y-axis vs  the max rpm in descending order achieved by the engine on the X-axis - that there is a very strong correlation between lower max rpm and higher cruise speeds.  As we have stated previously - any comparision of propeller performance can only be made in the context of similar max rpm constraints.

New engines require that they reach a minimum max rpm to qualify for warranty. The Voile test results show in red the four units that did not meet these criteria.
