"Hi, I just put a new faria tach on my boat. The motor has been rebuilt and is running great. I am satisfied with how it is running (1979 johnny 115) This Faria tach has 6 selectable positions. I turned it to position 6 and at WOT it reads 3600RPMS. So I'm thinking that can't be right, so I moved it to position 5. Now I'm getting 6500RPMS... That can't be right... My boat is a 1980 Skeeter Wrangler 16ft. WOT with GPS says 44 MPH. It weighs around 1100-1200 light load. Here are what the instructions say about what position. This is the same Prop it has has since it was new.
I'm pretty sure I should be on setting 5. But 3600 rpms doesn't sound even close. The old tach read around 5000 before it broke from old age.
OB ALT SWITCH SETTING.
1 - 4 POLE
2 - 6 POLE
3 - 8 POLE
4 - 10 POLE
5 - 12 POLE
SLIGHTLY DEPRESS WHILE TURNING
Any Ideas??? I'm a little worried about this. Thanks"
