Hi Guys,
I am very confused, I have a 2007 G3 Eagle 175 with a 89 15hp on it with a TMS tach and it states that I am at idling at 12-1400 RPM, and my WOT is like 8400 which is way over the 6500 top end??/ MY boat is severely underpowered....(HP restricted lake). I bet it is about 1500 lbs, I am currently running a 9.25X11 prop, Shouldn't this be leaving me way under RPM? Doesnt this sound like I am idling at 6-700 rpm and only getting to 4200 RPM? I am afraid to blow this thing up? I simply got the tach and wrapped the wire around the spark plug wire and there it is....I am running 7.75 MPH at the 8400 but I don't stay at that RPM for obvious reasons, any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks Chris
