[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 419671, member: 15636"] Don't get wrong ... they didn't work for me on V6 OB tests, but their smaller OB props sure appear to be fine! So maybe I should have re-worded my comments :oops: ... If like my 60hp OMC, it has the max RPMs listed as 6,000 but the rev limiter in the CDI/powerpack is 6200. Huh? Do you mean you are "likely" to spin out the hub as you are at the top of the RPM range? I'd say 'no'. If anything, with boat rigged as typically run, with 1/2 fuel and 1 person, I prefer to be at the top of the range! I personally do not settle for anything less than being no more than 200 RPMs off the maximum or high end of the WOT range. To do so otherwise is to lug the motor if/when a heavy load is carried and say you were at the low end of the range to start ... [/QUOTE]
