So, if your propeller is matching the max Engine Power (174 hp @ 1800 rpm), then the prop is requiring 140 hp @ 1670 rpm, with a fuel consumption of ~7.5 gph. At the other limit, you could have a propeller designed for 140 hp @ 1400 rpm (on the max Power curve), where the corresponding fuel consuption would be ~8 gph.
It seems clear that a larger propeller, with more blades, and blades with a more aggressive bite will require more power to be turned. For a propeller of a given size, on a particular boat, the horsepower needed to turn the propeller is a function of how fast the propeller is turned.
At the other limit, you could have a propeller designed for 140 hp @ 1400 rpm (on the max Power curve), where the corresponding fuel consuption would be ~8 gph. Between 1400 rpm and 1800 rpm your 140 hp's are available at different throttle settings (and different fuel consumptions, see below).
Finally, a hypothetical four-cycle motor's power curve will be compared to the propeller's. Boat speed is a function of the speed at which the boat's propeller is turned, the size of the propeller, and the arrangement of its blades.
Boaters refer to them using a range of popular nicknames, including props, wheels, and screws, yet propellers are one of the least understood components in the power and efficiency equation. In the most basic terms, a propeller is what turns the boat’s engine power into forward and backward movement of the vessel - otherwise known as propulsion.
The efficiency of the propeller will increase with increase in the propeller diameter. The graph above shows the power consumption of a 22’’, 26’’, 28’’ multicopter propeller. We can see that the power consumption is lower when we increase the diameter of the propeller.

Understanding Drone Propellers: How do they work?
Again, this has a correlation to how much lift the propeller generates per rotation. A larger-sized propeller has more surface area thus it can generate more lift per rotation. The opposite is true for smaller propellers. The extra lift generated by a large propeller also draws more power – similar to the compromise of a higher pitch.

Everything You Need to Know About Drone Propellers
More blades generally mean more thrust and stability, but at a certain point, this comes with diminishing returns in terms of efficiency and battery life. This is because additional power is needed to drive each added blade; as such, you might have to replace your drone''s batteries more often when using multi-bladed props.

Propeller Basics and How They Affect Boat Performance
In the most basic terms, a propeller is what turns the boat''s engine power into forward and backward movement of the vessel - otherwise known as propulsion. There is a range of factors in any propeller that can affect how it performs that job, potentially changing a boat''s performance, handling, and fuel efficiency for better or worse.

On one hand, this gives us an idea of how "powerful" a motor is and how fast it can spin: A "large" Kv value (such as, say, 4000) will spin really fast (4000 RPM for every 1 V you give it) but will do so without much power (torque) behind it.

We take the rated horsepower, 225, and the maximum RPM that can be reached with this propeller, 5900, and use them to determine C from the relationship. We now have a reasonable curve of how much horsepower it will take to turn the OMC SST 15-inch pitch propeller on my boat at a particular speed (shown in terms of engine crankshaft speed).

You don''t use full power very often, or for long, and as the quad flies faster the motors don''t have to work as hard to pull air into the props.

How A Propeller Generates Thrust
By increasing engine power and propeller revolutions (RPM), air is increasingly accelerated across the blades, creating a stronger pressure differential, pulling the airplane forward. This accelerates the airplane, but is limited by thrust available. When you''re flying faster than L/D max, more power is needed to compensate for increasing parasite drag. As you …
