i have a 22ft triton pontoon and can only get<br />4500 to 5000 rpms out of my motor at full throttle<br />when mercury book states optimum 5-6,000 rpms.<br />my dealer says this is normal but i worry that<br />i have a problem.

Your dealer is wrong. You want to run close to the upper end of the recommended RPM range. Try a lower pitch prop to bring up the RPM's.
