Need more rpm!!

[fishnutt]

Hey guys I have a 2002 ranger 175vs with an 2004 ELPTO 125, At WOT I am only getting 4900 to 5000 rpms,The recomended is 5250 which I would like to get if I could,I am running a 21 pitch stainless,4 blade prop,My top speed when it was cold weather was 54 mph,now that its hotter its dropped to 50 to 52.What could I do to get another 300 rpm without losing any power on takeoff. Thanx.

Go to a 19 inch pitch prop. You'll gain your rpms, and you'll gain holeshot/take-off power at the same time.

You could go with a stainless 3 blade prop with the same pitch and gain
2 to 4 mph and more rpm.Unless you went to a 4 blade to improve your low end.
