Hi, <br />I'm curious to find out what is the recommended wide open throttle RPMs for my 1978 65hp Evinrude. Any information on where I could get this or if you know it would be a lot of help. Thanks<br /><br />Scott

Welcome!! <br /><br />For the longest engine life set it up with an average load at 5800-6000.

Welcome to iboats. I run a 1975 70hp Johnson at 5850 WOT. General rule of thumb is as close to 6K as you can get with a normal load.
