Facts:
92 celebrity BR 190
Unloaded weight 2550lbs
4.3L mercusier engine
Alpha one outdrive.
Missing facts:
Prop pitch
Wot speed
Typical load is 4-6 people with 4 people including a tube or skiers. Now without towing anything I am at 3800 Rpm with 4 and 3950-4000 just one person. Now that's kinda concerning knowing that the normal operating wot of a mercuiser 4.3L is 4400 to 4800. Not sure if I am just grossly underproped or if there's a gearing issue or if it's an engine issue. Could a really bent and chipped prop contribute to loss of rpm? Any help would be great. Let me know if you need any more info. If I had to guess probably 30-35 is the wot speed.
