WOT help

[hitace]

hi,i had boat and motor thrown together real fast and was wondering if there is anyway to tell if the outboard is really maxed out when the hammer is down.i don't think the guy worried about adjusting anything to make it right.

You will need to know the RPM range is for your setup. Report back what you are getting for RPM's at WOT now and people can sugguest changes that can help. Proping and adjustments

Re: WOT help

You need to know what your RPM is at WOT, speed at WOT, prop pitch and gear ratio and then you can calculate slip which tells you how efficient your setup is.

What kind of boat/motor?

Re: WOT help

one guy said you can check to se if the butterfly vales are all they way open when you have the throttal down is this a good way to check this

Butterflies at full horizontal position would be correct at full throttle...
