If he did, it was well after the rearward motion began. I noticed that myself I saw the Yama based boat lurch forward, right from the start for a second so I know at least he engaged. Almost like he did not floor it, or the Yamaha just does not deliver the torque.. I missed the lurch, and thought I was paying attention! . It certainly is an important test for boaters who hook up stern to stern with another boat and play tug-a-war. You better be wearing a neck brace and seatbelt when you firewall that 150 on your new boat. :} Make sure you get properly propped. That engine should turn 6000 rpms when level with the water and with two or three guys and a full load of fuel aboard. Mine does. You will have a different prop, but it still should produce 6000 rpms or damned close to it. It comes with a factory spec stainless steel prop. I'll probably leave it alone. |
