"Pitch" is a term most commonly used when referring to propellers. The pitch of a propeller is the distance the propeller would move in one rotation, if it were moving through a soft solid. Similar to a screw moving through wood.

Usually pitch is set according to horsepower AND boat size. You could try a taller prop, say a 10 pitch, but you are going to lose RPMs because to engine is cutting through more water. It's a give and take situation. If you can get the boat to a good prop shop near the water, most will let you try different props until you find the one you like.
