ok so here it is, not sure if I have a problem .. I just bought a new boat .. it has a Volvo penta 4.3 cat 200hp on a 19ft four winns boat runs great it has lots of power .. it has a 14.3 x21 prop and a 2.18 to 1 gear ratio.. at WOT it only turns 4200 rpm. it get there easy and my top speed is around 40 ..batteries went dead on my gps so iam going off the speedo meter .. Volvo says the engine is rated for 5800rpm not getting anything close to that ..iam thinking maybe there is a factory limiter on it or the throttle is out of adjustment .. like I said this is a new boat so iam not sure if there is even a problem ... any thoughts would be great !!!
