    2016 75ELPT 4S EFI

    Serial number 2B251747

    Bought the boat a couple months ago with .2 hours on it. How many rpms should I be turning this motor? Book says 5200-5500. A setup guru and the guy at powertech props says i need it up close to 6,000. Right now with the stock junk aluminum 17p it will turn 5,000-5,100 and I have to work to get it up that high.

    5500 is the maximum recommended WOT RPM's on this particular engine model. Prop the engine to achieve 5400-5450 with normal-loading for best results.
