Denny: My manual indicates a WOT rpm range of 4500-5500, and based on recommendations from several sources, I was under the impression that a WOT rpm figure in the top 50% of the range (5000-5500) was a good target. Is that not the case? My Evinrude dealer/mechanic advised to shoot for close to 5000 rpms.
My first test with bimini up and only 3 people aboard was approximately equal to the collective load on my second test with 6 people and no bimini. I think the loads should be similar, no?
