Just bought a BF50 50 4 stroke outboard and moved to my 19 Foot Polor Kraft Aluminum boat. I also added a tach guage for the first time.
FIrst question. the serial is BAZS-3704721, What year is this?
2nd, I am at 4000 RPM at WOT with prop of 11.4X12. I know the engine should be 5500-6000 RPM WOT. So I either need to re-prop or when I installed my Tach I set to the wrong setting. I could not find the correct tach setting for BF50 so set to number 4 that the BF45 used. Is this correct? If so I need to re-prop. Any idea what pitch I need to go with? If the setting on the Tach is wrong what is the corrent setting?
FYI I was getting 27MPH on slight chop as she sits.
Thanks
