Riptide - Start buy raising the motor 1 bolt hole. Then mess with pitch. I'll bet you pick up 200/300 RPM's just by raising the motor.

Well I have been working on this engine all day.
Raised the motor one bolt hole.
New water pump
Oil change and new spark plugs.
I adjusted the throttle cables because they didn't open the throttle completely all the way.
Maybe that was my problem. Going to put her back in the water tomorrow if its not storming out and hopefully I'll be at my correct rpms.
Thanks for the replies,stay tuned.

I got her back in the water today between thunder storms and here are the results.
5650rpm wot was all I could get on flat water.I did gain 200 rpm by raising the motor one hole but I would like to be in the upper rpm range around 5800 to 6000 because I run offshore often heavily loaded.

I feel like something isn't right if you guys are running 21 & 23 inch props and getting those numbers.
I guess I should checkout Prop Gods and see what they say.
Thanks ,Jerry
