Welcome to Iboats! I would guess that would be your WOT range..Depends on the boat,prop,ect.<br />What is it turning now?

the rpm you mentioned is the recommended maximum achievable rpm with a normal load, normal being whatever you would normally have on the boat. try and keep it as close to the upper part of this window.<br />cruise will be around 75% or whatever you are comfortable with.

Kootcan - you answered your own question - "The owner's manual states 4200-4600.". As Ben has indicated, this is the WOT given normal load, standard propping for your motor, standard atmospheric conditions (at sea level), etc.<br /><br />To respond to your question regarding cruise performance, your generally accepted cruise RPM will be about 3000-3300 RPM, depending, again, upon your particular boat and operating conditions up there in Alberta. Keep in mind that that cruise range will NOT result in 75% of the speed at WOT, but more like ~20 mph.
