[QUOTE="Pale_Horse_Idaho, post: 513707, member: 35352"] I tried searching but found 1,200 pages of people arguing over suggested range vs optimal range. Yamaha says 5000-6000 rpm's for my motor. When I go out with the dog and myself my RPM's are 5800-5900. Add the wife to the mix and I'm running 5500-5580 rpm's I recently sand-bar'd my lower pitch prop and its junk. Can I continue to run at 5500 or do I need to buy another lower pitch prop? Option two would be always leave the wife at home. :) The motor sounds better at 5900 than it does at 5500. One additional question. Can I run down a large lake for 1hr @5900 rpm without stopping? [/QUOTE]
