May I ask why?

2 strokes should be run at WOT all the time - that's the way they're designed to be run. If you're not running it at WOT for a least a minute or two every trip you should get a smaller motor. Mine see's 6000 RPMs about 40% of it's running time...

So I should run 60+ MPH everywhere I go? I dont own a gas station, will you pay my fuel bill? <br /><br />Just funnin with ya, I know what you mean and your right. I run it WOT on the way back to the dock after a days fishing just for that reason.

Yeah. I troll a lot with my old 35. At the end of the fishing day, I take a WOT joy ride around the lake before heading for the dock. I don't know if the engine needs it, but it sure makes me feel good.

How the 'ell do I wot it in a force 3 with 1' wave.....<br /><br />Full throttle is as rare as a blue moon over here.

Being designed to TOLERATE long periods of WOT does not mean that doing so will extend the life of the engine.<br /><br />Best economy and longest engine life will be attained by running the engine at around 3/4 throttle with occasional bursts to WOT.<br /><br />Doesn't anybody read their Owner's manuals?

Re: running on full tilt

I agree with JB, WOT also vibrates the crap out of the screws holding electrical components in place, ect loosening them & with Merc oil injections with the plastic drive gear it really taxes that thing I believe.<br />I allways give it WOT bursts from time to time but just from the way it sounds @ WOT I believe if you allways ran it that way it wouldnt be a good thing..<br />Not to mention the gas milage.
