    Cruising RPM’s

    If that is the case and the OP actually gets 3600 at WOT, I wouldn’t run more than the 2900-3000 range.

    Cruising RPM’s

    Ok, what does the engine manual list as the engines wide open throttle (WOT) suggested RPM’s? What WOT RPM are you actually getting? How fast is your boat going at WOT?

    Mercruiser 5.0L MPI Not Starting, I was driving the boat at a slow pace and it slowly stalled/stopped
