Glad to find a forum with good info about Mercury engines.
Recently updated my pontoon from an old 50hp 2 stroke (good riddance) to a new
60hp CT 4 stroke. Getting near the end of the break-in period but had a question.
The engine runs great, but the max rpms my tac is showing, with the throttle forward
as far as it will go, is about 4200??
Seems I read where the 60hp maxes at about 5500-6000 rpms, correct?
Could it be the throttle linkage needs adjusting?
Ie. the boat throttle is not moving the throttle on the engine enough?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
