Cant reach rpm at wot. Can only get 3100 on each engine. Suspect someone has changed props (do not match records). 16x 16 cupped now on boat. Anyone know what works with this combination? Need a place to start. Pflathead

What, if any, is the gear reduction on the transmissions?

pflathead,<br /><br />The old "general rule" still applies here.<br /><br />1" in pitch is worth about 200 rpm's, up or down.
