[QUOTE="Pale_Horse_Idaho, post: 513710, member: 35352"] Ive tried going slower but the boat starts to drag in the water near 5000-4800 rpms. Your 60% 3,600rpm's target would be trolling speed and the nose would be pointing up at a 30 degree angle in my boat and not even be on a plane. I thought small outboards were made to run WOT all day? The other posts Ive read said suggested range is not optimal and no one could agree on which was OK. I guess here we are again. The motor sounds like its running harder at 5500 than it does at 5900. 4,800 rpms at 80% is still dragging my boat through the water. [/QUOTE]
