Are Honda’s all slow to wind up on take off? Running a 4 blade on a light boat and is slow coming out of the hole. I realize these Honda’s aren’t race motors, but man are they slow to wind up ( rpms)

Do you have any vents open on the prop?? You should have all holes plugged solid. I have never had any issues with hole shots on my Hondas

It will hit 6000rmps
Get some plugs and block off the ports. I would also try the 22P. I ran a 23P on my Xpress X19 with a BF150 with no issue.

ok thanks I will be buying some plugs
What 4 blade are you running?
97 Ranger r82 with 05 honda bf150, Helix 10 mega link with 1198c, Ultrex 80. Fish hard and keep hooking.
Lexor 20P
What the prop to pad height?
looks like 4 inches. Outboard level, yardstick pad to center of LU level.
I would start to raise it, They like to run high. go to 3.5 and then 3.25 watching your water pressure and top end.
