Location: Kodiak, AK | The more I talk to you guys, and talking to you Jon, I'm more and more convinced that this is largely operator error, and maybe a bit to much prop. I don't run the motor burried, but I didn't know that trimming could affect RPM that much...I just didn't know any better. I trim it down when I'm up on plane, but don't mess with it after that. I've probably ran it too low. Ice is here now, so it'll be next spring, but my mind is at ease.
And no Jon, I'm entirely convinced the motor is sound. That friggin motor is a gem. I don't expect it to be 55; heck I thought 40 was good enough for me, but I'll play with it and the prop next spring and go from there. I don't fish Tx's, and just want the boat and motor happy and whatever speed it gives me I'm happy with.
