    Ranger setup

    2001 Ranger 520vx
    2001 Merc 225 EFI
    Elevation: Idaho 3,400ft
    6" Jackplate.
    Rooster is at the cowling.
    Current prop: 25 tempest
    Current speed: 60.2 @5000 rpms
    Holeshot: kind out of the hole.

    Looking for a little more holeshot and top end.

    Thanks guys

    I’d put this in the Ranger section and add your ptp height.
    2006 Triton SP-185, 2006 Evinrude Etec 90, PowerTech NRS3, Garmin Echomap Plus 73CV & 93SV

    Though I do think you need to drop 2 pitch sizes, I think you should be doing much better than you are, post this in the mercury 3.0 L section for more assistance
    include specifics, history, serial number, be sure to read the announcements at top of page first
    Tach may be off as well, verify with smartcraft or digital tach and GPS speed
    Thank You Leon Pugh

    Have you changed plugs lately with new Champion QL77CC and changed all the fuel lines and filter?
