    my 2012 150/4 book says at 650 rpm idle 0.7-4.4 at 5800 rpm wot 11.6-43.5 with the newer style electric sending unit gauges on the Ranger I didn't see very good readings on new boat. I changed the electric sending gauge to a standard gauge and seen a big improvement in numbers, i have seen several posts saying they didn't think the newer gauge's were very good IMO. IF not sure and you have a Smart Craft gauge look into a sending unit for the Smart Craft gauge run about $60 or so.

    Really should be seeing 15+ at WOT for safe measure in turns.
