I run my '55 7.5 hp 'rude at WOT all the time.<br /><br />I used to run my '72 50 hp 'rude at WOT all the time.<br /><br />Well over the weekend which coincidently was the 1 year waranty expiration for my '03 90 HP Merc classic 2 stroke, I ran it at WOT for a couple of miles.<br /><br />Felt great. Wind was in my hair. Water was flat. I was up on the pad turning 5500 RPM at 51 miles per hour.<br /><br />Can I break anything that wouldn't break at 4500 RPM?<br /><br />Fuel mileage sucked but who cares?<br /><br />Tx.<br /><br />Joe
