Hello again,
I have a 92 Johnson 60 hp outboard on a skeeter 16' fiberglass model ss90. My tach says it's running at 7200 RPM at full power with 2 people. My prop pitch is 17. I was wondering if I should go up to a 19 pitch? I'm not sure of the accuracy of the tach, but when I start the motor it says it's idling at 2500 RPM, I know this not to be true. I know I should replace the tach (the adjustment screw is right) but I'm not sure how and I was quoted 2 months wait time at the ONLY shop in 150 miles of my house. The motor does not sound like it's over revving but I would like to be sure.
Thanks
