GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
The best cruising RPM is determined basically by the "sound" of the engine.<br /><br />However. if your wide open throttle RPM is not within the makers recommended range, you may be lugging the engine-not good.<br /><br />Post your wide open throttle rpm, we'll go from there.
I am getting 5500-5700 wot. I just went down in pitch from a 19 to a 17 big difference in throttle responce. The motor sounds the best around 4200 and up. Just looking for some opinions.<br /><br /> THANKS
OMC used to advise that the best performance/efficiency was WOT less 10-15%. I agree with DJ that most motors have a "sweet spot" that you can identify by sound. I run a pair of 1987 110 hp and they are happy at around 4500 rpm. That will change some based on load.
