Default RPM & WOT question


"Dave Jones" wrote in message
...
I just re-proped my boat -- my range is supposed to be 4200-4600

is this under "best case" conditions? (flat water, no wind, light load,
trim
optimised, etc)

Or "no mater what, when you're "WOT" your engine should be between
4200-4600?

Thanks
Davie


It should be optimized for your normal loading and usage and depends a lot
on the size of your boat. That RPM range indicates a likely I/O setup and I
assume it's a single engine. You may find out, as I did years ago, that you
will have two props ... one for normal use with 2 or 3 people aboard and a
second, lower pitched prop for when the whole gang shows up for a boat ride.
