Default Engine RPM gov. limit?

In an earlier post I mentioned that I had changed props and the engine was
only reaching about 2200 rpm.

My (new) MD2B manual indicates this engine should produce 25 hp at 2500 rpm.

Yesterday while running the engine in neutral at the dock I noted that the
governor is limiting the engine rpm to 2200 rpm.

I hesitate to tamper with the governor settings and the OEM seal wires are
still in place.

I wonder if I should investigate this situation or be satisfied with the
2200 rpm since my boat reaches hull speed at this rpm.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
