Does he not run it over 4000 or will the motor not go over 4000? If it doesn't go over 4000 then somehting is wrong. I'm sure I will be corrected if wrong but he should be able to get 5800 with a normal load.
Did it ever go to 5800 on that boat?<br /><br />If not, it is probably a prop selection problem.<br /><br />If yes, he has an engine problem.<br /><br />We need to know more.
35mph at only 4-grand might point to the tach being incorrect. Make sure it has the setting for 3-cylinder models.... Don't go tearing into the engine checking the switch setting on the tachometer....<br />- Scott
I still believe it's Tach related error. But also let us know where the cavitation plate is in relation to the bottom of the hull. Higher/ Lower....And, what size and pitch prop are you running now? I doubt another prop is gonna get you another 2000 RPM's, so there is still a problem somewhere else..
