Does my 04 larson 230, which is equipped with a 5.0 GXI Volvo penta setup have one?? How do I know when it kicks in?
Background; I have been working with a prop manufacturer to get me a custom SS 4 blade lab finished prop. In my latest round of testing, I was attempting to see how many RPM's the prop would allow me to run. WOT is listed as 4800-5000. At 5300 I noticed a slight cutout in the engine. Was this my rev limiter? It coincidentally would not go any faster. In my first round of testing, I backed out of the throttle at what I thought was 5400.
I thought all newer boats were equipped with rev limiters. Is that limit 300 over max WOT???
Confused?!?!
