just moved to 6000ft elevation with my sea level geared ebbtide 5.0 merc alpha one. what is the norm wot max rpm engine on the boat that i dont want to exceed when i reprop to adjust for the altitude. any other suggestions for maximizing performance. also just pulled the 2 freeze plugs on the block 2 plugs on the manifolds and one below the water pump. drained the water, replaced the plugs then pulled the hoses off the thermostat housing and added bio antifreeze, fooged the carb and added fuel stabilizer. anything i missed with the winterizing? thanks.
