What is the net effect of increasing diameter with the same pitch?
More thrust, greater prop efficiency (less slip), requires more torque (horsepower) to maintain the same RPMs, more vibration if tip clearance is insufficient.
What is the net effect of increasing/decreasing the pitch with the
same diameter?
Greater forward motion with each turn, more slip unless a light easily driven hull, requires more torque (horsepower) to maintain the same RPMs.
Either should cause speed to increase by some amount if RPMs can be maintained.
I should know this, but apparently I'm confused about something.

I ask because I was discussing props with a friend today and I had
something totally confused.
A friend (who posts here) explained it to me once. But, now I forget.
That's my problem. I was talking about props and by the time I finished the conversation, I was totally confused about something that I thought I knew. :>)
Of course being older than dirt, sometimes 'ya forget stuff 'ya know?
