2004 5.0 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI WOT - (2004 Monterey 214 Montura)

Hello everyone,

What is the correct WOT for a 2004 5.0 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI WOT in a 2004 Monterey 214 Montura?

I'm seeing a WOT of 5200-5300 and wondering if that is too high?

Top speed is only like 45 MPH which surprises me, I would have expected that boat to be a little quicker.

If your tach is "accurate" then yes that is to high
Manual list WOT 4600-5000

Is there an online source for the manual? Also looking for a service manual...

Finally is there a way to verify the tach?

Can find the manual at boatinfo and it uses adobe flash

To check RPM need to use a scanner or hand held tach, either laser photo or inductive. I like the inductive type

HI
your tachometer is off. It will only go to 5150 then limit with an alarm.
