[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 514059, member: 13975"] Most people may disagree, but I don't mind pushing a 2 stroke motor above the recommended rpm range a bit. I try to keep my outboards in tip top shape primarily ensuring water pump is in order and carbs aren't running lean, I run ethanol free gas, add Yamalube, etc which is critical plus I have a lot of them in case I was to burn one up lol. I probably wouldn't do that on 4 strokes plus the only 4stroke I have is a new efi one so the computer will keep it from over reving even I wanted it to. I'd get at least 2 props to have on hand. Have a nice prop sized for WOT for your typical setup and then a cheaper one sized for your heavier load setup. They are a breeze to swap out and you will stay on top of fishing line that could eat up your prop shaft seals. Keep both on the boat so you have a back up on the water too. [/QUOTE]
