I have a 94 Johnson 115 Ocean Pro, I just mounted on my 17' Boston Whaler. Is there a govenor or rev limiter I can adjust. I want to be able let the teenagers use it without going WOT.

Thanks
Mark

Howdy.

Welcome to iboats. :)

What exact model Boston Whaler 17' do you have that 115 on, Mark? The classic 17's were rated for 100HP, Max, and that was too much.

My 17s performed well with 70HP. No way would I consider turning teens loose in an overpowered boat, even a Boston Whaler.

17 ft is a fairly big boat for a 115. I doubt it will go much more the 42- 43mph. How old are the teenagers?

BTW welcome to Iboats

I agree With JB and short of putting a clamp stop on the throttle cable there is nothing to do. You know that they will figure out what you have done anyway.
