Re: Johnson 115 1995 3 or 4 blade prop
Thanks guys for your input I really appreciate it. I have changed over to XD50 oil in all my motors because i like the way it doesn't smoke as much and doesn't foul the plugs. I have been running it no more than half trim and just keeping it at or below 5500 rpm. It will do more than that with this prop easy. It will really turn around 6000 rpm if I trim it all the way up and give it WOT but I only use it to pull us so the prop really yanks us out of the water now. I will just continue to run it no more than 5500 RPM as that is all we need on this boat. I have my bass boat when I want to run 60+ lol. It doesn't seem to be hurting the motor any at all. I am usually running it around 3500 to 4000 when we are pulling and it seems to be better on gas now.
