i have fitted a new 300 to my
i have fitted a new 300 to my 680 patriot in Australia . it has replaced the 250 etec which was previously on it. the question is how close to maxium rpm should i prop to . as the motor is still being run in but in a short burst it went to 6100 rpm and levelled off . at present i swing a 3x16 x18.5 . i have loaded the boat with 8 people and gear and fuel and it has pulled up on the plane quite well . should i go to the 19 and lose some top end revs or aim i right on with what i have . fuel economy and cruise is the main target though this motor holds the boat up better slower in rough seas i must say. i am very pleased with your product thank you.
