Too high engine speed on my 2018 23 LSV with M6DI engine a 15, x17.75 Prob is installed.

At 11mph surfing speed, the engine rotates 4,000 RPM.

It looks like this when skiing:

36mph = 5.500RPM

34mph = 5,000RPM

31MPH = 4,500RPM

For this reason, I ordered a 16x16.25 Prop from Wakemakers, which unfortunately doesn't fit the diameter because there is not enough space to the Hull. So before I order a propeller, ask for help in the group. How can you possibly calculate what the right propeller is? At Wakemakers there would be: 15.5 x 18.26 or 15 x 22.5

Thanks in advance
