As a general rule, if the engine hits redline before you hit hull speed, your pitch is too fine. It is like a car stuck in 1st gear. If you cannot reach redline RPM, then the prop pitch is too coarse. It is generally considered very rough on diesel engines to be limited by the prop instead of the governor.
