    Mr. Rudetech?

    can you help me out here? I've heard contradicting stories about what my motor should be turning. Local guy here says turning 5000, fully trimmed, will be good enough, and that I should just keep the 19 pitch prop I have. Another says I should shoot for 5500, another says 5800. Which would you go with?

    Motor is 1978 85 johnson javelin. Motor is on the 3rd hole up.

    Bouncin' off rocks, and catching the smallies.

    The operating range on your motor is 5000 to 5500 according to the factory.
