I just changed the engine on my boat to a 2007 Evinrude E-Tec 90 HP. The boat is a 2000 Sun Tracker Pontoon.
With the new tach, I get 4700 rpm at WOT swinging a 14 x 13. Dealer is advising me to go to a 14 x 11 Hydrus, saying that pontoon boat owners having hydrus props all swear by them.
From what I know, I should pick up about 400 RPM and maybe less due to the cupped blades. And the Hydrus is not Stainless which is what I want.
What do I do to get at the 5500 RPM rating of the motor?
