67 Mercruiser. Original engine. Inline 6cyl. I bought this a couple of weeks ago.
This thing runs GREAT but doesn't seem to have the getup it should. The local boat shop told me that this thing should be running at about 5,000 RMPs instead of 3,000.
I replaced the terribly beat up prop with a brand new one, and it seems to be a bit quicker, and very smooth. However, RPMs are stil staying at 3,000. Any ideas?
