    Miss marked prop?

    If the OP wants to get the max HP cowl rated out of that under powered 9.8 motor powering a large boat with a maximized prop running towards max 6 K wot range should lower the motor a tad for the water flow to skim right under the upper small plate, that's where Tohatsu's tall gap plates motors...

    1992 Yamaha 40 MSHQ shutting itself down at wot

    Some issues, -It's perfectly OK and safe to test, flush OB motors on muffs as long as you want provided that the water exiting the hose has good pessure and the ear muffs achieves a tight fit onto both water intakes for minimum water loss side of them. A motor should not be tested in a barrel...

    Miss marked prop?

    Back to the OP's original post : Why is a there a jack plate at back transom, have your tried powering the boat with the motor siting fully on top transom without the jack plate ? If, so, was the water flow passing under the upper small plate, over the AV plate, or right in middle ? FB, it's...

    Honda BF75 beeping alarm and reduced rpms

    If the motor is giving such symptons while running on water, testing on muffs without pushing a real load at high rpm won't say much. That 20 year oldie motor aside suspect having poor refrigeration issues could be experiencing electrical related problems due to its age. Electrical, electronic...

    Out of curiosity, does the motor sits fully flat on the transom while trimed to 90 Deg ? Why is it that boaters likes going for other brand props when well priced Tohatsu OEM ones are available in different pitches to choose from which performs top. If the combo is easy to plane when at full...
