Just hung a new 60 HP on the back of a 2004 17' Tracker Pontoon. The local dealer did the rigging and put a 11.4X12 prop and the standard Tohatsu tach (oil warning light only). I am at 4 hours into the 10 hour break-in period where the manual says to go at 3/4 throttle with 1 minute at full in a 10 minute period. at 3/4 the tach is reading about 3000-3200 rpm or so. When I go to the full position, the tach only goes to 3800-4000 at most and the last 2 inches of travel does not seem to do anything to the engine other than it sounds as if it's laboring. Top speed is around 20MPH which is a little faster than the 50hp etec would go.
The dealer is closed all next week so I thought I would ask on this forum; I am new to Tohatsu, lots of Mercury time and some E-tec which was the previous engine on the pontoon.
Thanks
