I have an old but lively 1986 15hp Suzuki DT15. The maximum hp/rpm for the stock engine is 15 at <br />5500 with a 9x11 prop. The displacement of this engine is fairly large for a 15 hp. I think its around 287 cc. I know that the older Johnsons and E-rudes 15s were only 216 cc. but made their maximum power at around 7500 rpm. What I would like to know is how can I make more rpm/hp without going to a smaller prop? Is there anyway to adjust a governor or something to allow the engine to spin higher and would there be an issue with reliability if I can get 7000 rpm out of it? The engine performs fairly well as it is. I have a Humminbird XT400 with a speedo that wildly indicates 32 mph. I used a gps wich showed maximum speed of 23 mph. Is there any fix for speedo error on the XT400?<br /><br />Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
