Finally took her own. It was 92 degrees in the SF bay...unusually hot
for this part of the country.
Just like the owner's son told me it does about 20. I would say more
like 17-18. I noticed that the tilt pin was on the lowest position so
I moved it two notches up. I also noticed that the outboard was
running rich (thick smoke) so I adjusted the mixture. With these two
changes there was a noticable pick up in overall speed.
I guess if one uses it in a small lake the outboard is ok but out in
the bay there's lot of water to cover. My boston whaler with a 40
really flew and it's a bit of an adjustment to this. And the noise.
Wow, that little beast sure screams. I'm definitly going to change it
to a 30+ hp. On the plus side I motored and trolled for 7 hours and it
only burned 4 gallons. It's a great clean smooth outboard.
And I got skunked. No bite.
