I have a 1992 16' Monark Bass boat with a 40hp Mercury. At wide open I can only get about 4400 RPM's. How can I get more power out of my motor?

Re: Mercury 40hp

i had the same problem with same motor and apox17 ft boat. i checked the rpms with the prop mounted at full throttle. take the weight aprx. of the boat the rpms and the prop size and pitch to a prop shop or many sites and they will give you the right size and pitch prop.
