To all evenrude people,
I've '94 40HP evinrude on a Lomac (Italian) 13' boat, and have always been proud for and content with it's capabilities. Two years ago, Yannis, a so called friend, brought in the bay a same Lomac as mine with a '95 40HP yamaha. Coming into the bay after fishing, my "yam-jap-crap" (his nickname) friend, just about makes a Knot over me, and please understand how much it pisses me that slow but steady overtake. I keep on putting it on the different fish load we carry, but the excuse is weakening.
In that scrap yard there was this '85 50HP johnson and got the carbs off. Put the carbs on mine, decabr, spark plugs, link-sync, got a light gun and played with +/- 2 degrees, finally got rid off those reed leaf stoppers all together. Yes i 've got thrusts more power, opening throttle and boat speed are indirect correlation, got those 200 to 300 rpm on top (i had 5200 with a 11 3/4 -17 blade and now i have 5400 to 5500) and that is all. I was doing 32 Knots on the dial 29.5 GPS and now i do 33 Knots on dial and just above 30 GPS.
Desperate need of that extra top end power !!!
All pointed suggestions welcomed.
