[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 387274, member: 15636"] FWIW I always pitch my props so with the typical load - even if/when that is a heavy load - the OB turns no more than 200 RPMs off the OEM rated maximum. The WORST thing for an OB motor, less not adding oil, is to lug the motor and use too steep or fast a pitch prop. Lugging can make an early death for a motor ... I've never fooled w/ converted motors, so can't advise if you should consider 7K as the max, sorry. [/QUOTE]
