Hello.
Hello everyone. First time posting
We recently purchased a new pontoon boat and used it for the fist time this past weekend. The initial "break-in" period for this Evinrude engine is at least 2 hours of use above 1500RPM. We easily surpassed that this weekend.
A couple things we have questions about:
-the top speed is only about 16mph and at WOT is sitting at 6500 RPM, does this sound right?
-the engine sounds like it's working too hard
-is this the best prop or should we be using something else?
The prop on it from the dealer is a 13-7/8x11 Evinrude Hydrus.
Below is the information about the boat and our use etc...
Thanks!
