That is correct. Power = V*I= 24*1.2 = 28.8 watts ablsolute max. Power is dissipated as heat and since the powerhead is submerged in water the heat will probably have no affect on the motor. Just don't exceed the voltage rating, and you can probably exceed the power draw, by a bit.
Did you say that the power draw went up when you put in the 6100 prop?
Now how about question above on the size of the 6055 front cover. Is it the same size as the 6025?
