Hello,


harbor. I then accelerated up to around 40K RPM and it did fine.

* FOURTY * k ??? Good Gawd, yer KIDDIng me!
I had *no* idea that and outboard like this would spin
up that fast! I got a Johnson 8 on my Zodiac, and I
know it winds up, but I don't think it even gets close
to 10-12K, and I fly model airplanes and I'm lucky to
to get 12-13K on the little ones, and 10k on the bog ones,
but WOW! - I never knew an outboard motor would do that.
Is that typical ? Man, learn something new everyday!
( 40k is damn fast by *any* standard)
