So I have a 3Cyl 4 Stroke honda BF50 (2004) on a 12 foot center console rib.
The engine is supposed to idle around >1k and redline somewhere around 6k rpm.
My tach won't go past 3000 RPM. I understand there may be a rev limiter at neutral but even out on the water at WOT it stops at 3000.
I've replaced with a brand new Tachometer from Honda and set it to the setting in the instructions of the Tach that specifically mentions the Honda BF50.
Now I have a stock prop from honda, the one that came with the motor. Believe it's a 13 pitch. Here is the kicker. I get about 40MPH on this RIB at WOT and there is no way it's only doing 3k RPM.
Anyone out there have a clue what's going on, Tach should be showing somewhere around 5500-5800RPM according to the calculation.
I've tried every setting on the tach as well and the only one that reaches the 5500ish RPM also says the boat is idling at 2k rpm, so that's not right.
Help!
