WOT RPM for 1985 Evinrude 115 VRO V4 ?

[bdkdave]

This motor is turning out to be a strange beast to research. I bought the Seloc manual, which is was a waste of money, as it totally skips this year/model despite being listed on the cover...<br /><br />So, while I wait for an OMC service manual to appear on eBay, could someone share knowledge with me as to the desirable WOT RPM for this motor?<br /><br />Model E115TLCO<br />Serial G1066890<br /><br />Motor is mounted on a 1984 Thunder Craft Regency 162 - my first boat <br /><br />Thanks all!
