1996 johnson venom

[matt400TDC]

sorry at work. I'll get model #'s when I get home. I don't think I need to be too alarmed but I recently hooked my water pressure gauge back up and am getting a reading of about 38 psi at WOT. I can't remember what it was running when it was working as I had only had the boat about a week before the hose blew off the motor. It idles at 3 psi and seems to rise as it should. I was just wondering if this was high. The motor pees a nice steady stream and increases as the psi guage does as well.
Gauge is a 60# faria

probably means you are a little deep in the water with the lower unit. My venom usually pumps out 30-35 psi at wot and 3-8 at idle with a stream that looks like a drunk after a 12 pack about knock ya over, you may want to raise the plate a little higher depending on your rpms and rooster tail it should be no higher then the top of the cowel

i haven't gotten a jp yet. and my rooster tail is just right at the top of my cowling at WOT but almost nonexistent until around 5700 rpms.
