I have looked all over this forum and cannot find what the wot rpm should be. My boat runs 3800 full throttle going across the lake is this to low or high. Please help me understand, oh and by the way its a omc 190 ford 302. I cant remember the size and pitch of my prop but i believe it 14" 15pitch?

I can't find the exact numbers either, but the Merc 302 of similar vintage and power (188) was rated for 3800 - 4200 so if the tach is right then you are pretty darn close . . .
