A fine pitch setting on a propeller takes a smaller bite of air, or water, allowing more engine rpm (power) at lower speeds. A coarser pitch (higher number pitch angle) takes a larger bite of the medium, and when properly matched to the engine potential, produces a higher speed. The difference between the fine and coarse setting may only be a few degrees.
