this weekend was my first real opportunity to get out with the new rig I picked up this winter. I've got a Yamaha HPDI (200 HP) with the manual jackplate. I've got a 25 pitch prop
I could really only push about 62 to 64 MPH out of it before I'd notice that my rpm's were getting too high - 6000 to 6200 rpm!!
My jack plate is currently set so that I've got about 1 3/8" of plate above the outside portion of the plate.
Should I be raising this up a bit?? Switching props?? I seem to be getting out of the hole o.k.
