    Recommended WOT rpm is on the serial number sticker, which is same as posted above. Prop for WOT of 5550 - 5650rpm.

    Best to prop it for close to the 5750 mark, when fully/normally loaded.

    Be sure to check out the Forum Announcements, so you can provide the REQUIRED info when posting. Thanks!

    I apologize. I did not think there would be a need for a serial # as the description I gave was new model.
