I have a classic 50 that seems to run good when just me in the boat (though I am not sure I am getting full throttle throw or not). My boat is a heavier v-bottom fiberglass boat. Anyways, had it out the other day with a few friends (4 people total), motor barely got us up to 10MPH and would not get up to speed. Then, had it out with 1 other person and it took a little once at full throttle for it to rev up and get to speed. Is this normal? Do I need to be adjusting the motor angle/tilt with more weight as maybe its not getting up to plane? Dont quite understand it. I dont have electric tilt, I need to manually move the rod and have it fully adjusted with rod closest to stern so very little tilt to the motor keeping the bow down. Not sure my prop pitch either.
Also, how do I check to make sure I am getting enough throttle throw? It idles great though.
