After giving this some thought and reflecting on Dan's (Headhunter) post I think there must be a glaring issue somewhere. There is just no logical reason a bare bones version of my heavy sled with 50 more horsepower doesn't turn at least 5800 or more WOT. It doesn't pass the smell test nor make any mathematical sense as well. If it was me I would be looking to see if the throttle body linkage is opening up all the way when the fly by wire hammer is put to the wood. I'm not sure that can be accomplished with the engine not running but I would put the key to the on position and check. If not I would get a buddy and pull the cowl and run it checking the same. Something is wrong and it isn't break in restrictions or oval cylinders. Maybe the ECM has a throttle limiter for a break in duration but I haven't heard on anything like that but maybe on the new "AP" models it exists. In any case your installer should be on top of this and answering these questions instead of dropping prop size that will mathematically drop your WOT speed below 40 kts.

Danny, If you want to talk to the best available Suzuki expert on the planet give Robert at Precision Marine a call. 727-518-2151 He would be more than happy to give you assistance over the phone.

Ken – I took the boat out today for additional break in time. I have about 2 1/2 hours. The most RPMs I've gotten to is 4000 at 25 knots. That is pretty close to what the pro line in their boat test section shows at 4000 RPM with the same prop 18.5 P. I think the motor could come up one hole. I will know tomorrow.

Finally got past the break in restriction to be able to go WOT. Max is 5650 rpm @ 38.5 knots. Definitely dragging arse! Tell me about those manual plates.

There is more going on than what a plate will fix but it will help. Were you able to confirm the throttle body linkage is allowing WOT?
