Re: E-Tec 90 Enough RPM's? (78cj5)
If im not mistaken the operation range on the 90 is 4500 to 5500.. I would send the prop out and tell them you need appox. 400 rpm. DOnt just tell them to make it into 15". Alot of times the props are not the size they are stamped. We just sent a new viper 19" wheel and told them we need 200 rpm. It turns out the prop scaned at over 20" in pitch. They made it a true 19" and the RPM's are right on.
I am amazed at the stories I hear on this site. If your dealer is telling you it takes 20 hours to come out of the extra oiling, run down walk away from them and find a different dealer. If your readout was true and the enigne is still in break in mode then something is wrong.

what happened to the speed when the RPM's went down?
Re: E-Tec 90 Enough RPM's? (mead)
When the RPM's dropped off, I lost a couple of miles per hour. To my surprise, when I picked the boat up, they had raised the motor by one mounting hole.
I am going to run it this weekend and I will let you know what happens.
Thanks for the input.
