[QUOTE="Txtincan, post: 461976, member: 24383"] So I took the boat out this morning for a few hours to start breaking the motor in. My total load was about 730lbs, but my typical load will either be about 800 lbs, or 1000 lbs depending if I have another person hunting with me. I was able to get 26mph when running at about 80-85% throttle. When I tried giving it more gas, the alarm indicator light came on, and the engine sounded a little off. It went away as soon as I backed off the throttle. I’m thinking that I was hitting the rev limiter? I’m running a 10 pitch prop, but I don’t have a tachometer. I’m not sure if I should bight the bullet on a tach, or just go ahead and purchase an 11 pitch prop. What do y’all think? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
