Can anyone guide me to where I might find what RPMs I should be running at WOT on a 24' Fisher pontoon with a Mercruiser Alpha one 3.0 liter/LX 181 CID?

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Yep 4800 is the max, but there is several times that I went over that in my old boat. Needless to say I had some issues.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I have been running 4000 max but have made a few changes so hopefully that will bump me up.

It always seems like those last few RPM's seem to make the biggest difference. The 3.0 is a great little motor and easy to work on. I know my previous one had a rough life and honestly the motor never had an issues, it always seemed to be the components.
