[QUOTE="edlacy, post: 437607, member: 12360"] You're lugging it. You wouldn't drive a manual transmission car 15 MPH in high gear. You're doing the same to your outboard. As was stated above, you want 5300-5400 RPM @ WOT or you'll never know the full potential of you motor. As well, you're shortening the life of the motor. Those Evinrude/Johnson motors are real work horses, but any motor can only take so much abuse. Running your motor at low RPM is abuse. [/QUOTE]
