    Necessary water pressure

    I have a 2000 200hp Ficht. Modle#RE200FLSSH Serial#G04864098 on a 2000 Strartos Extreme. At WOT and full trim, my water pressure is at 25 lbs, but i'm chine walking. Can i get away with raising my motor more?

    Thanks

    Guess that depends on how many RPM's your running on your motor. As far as water PSI you're fine. Don't go below 18 PSI. So if your RPM's are within operating range (I think 5800 and below) then yes you can go up.
