[QUOTE="fl.graderman, post: 412680, member: 20523"] In the factory service manual it says the wot range is 5500-5800. With the 12p prop it runs up around 5850 to 5870 depending on load, wind, chop, etc. I let my own OCD cause me to buy the 13p to try to lower the rpms, thinking the 50-70 rpms over may damage the powerhead. I also didn't understand that the rule about rpm change per inch of pitch applies to larger V-6 engines and not our little 2 and 3 cylinders... So... The 12p is on the motor, the 13p is sold, my OCD is back under control and I have a really good performing little fishing boat. When I bought this motor, it was supposed to get me on the water and last until I saved up enough pennies for a new 25 etec... I'm tickled to death with the power this motor has and I have no plans for a new etec any time in the near future... [/QUOTE]
