H210 SS--High Alt Gears?

[WeekendWarrior86]

I am purchasing a new '08 H210SS with the Merc 6.2L/Bravo 1 set up. I live in CO and operate the boat at 5,000'. Was wondering if anyone has any experience setting up this config for optimum performance. I'm purchasing the boat at sea level so I'm pretty sure it has the standard gear ratio in the outdrive. The dealer is telling me that they adjust for operating at alt with prop pitch and changing fuel injector jets. I know that there is a high alt gear option for the Bravo 1 but I'm unsure at what alt it becomes necessary. I would think that it would be appropriate at 5,000'. Would appreciate any advice on this topic.

I think
a prop change would be plenty. 5000 ft is not really that high, I would think the computer should be able to compensate for that.

Why not ask a dealer in your area what they think, you will get a lot more accurate answer there. Or call the motor manufacture and ask what they recommend.

I would be interested in the outcome of this. I have the same boat/powertrain. Not hi altitude tho. I have played with several props and the best I can get out of the boat is around 56mph.
