Location: Elk River, Minnesota | If the max RPM for the motor is 6000, it is best to be within the upper 1/3 of the RPM range under light load. Reason for this is when you fish with other people, more gear, etc, you don't have to make a prop change to accommodate.
If you are running a pro series prop, I would definitely recommend moving that motor up to the highest position on the transom, and dropping 2 inches in pitch. That should get you close, When it is all said and done, I would bet you will see an increase of 600 or so RPM's, a gain in speed, and a siginificant gain in hole-shot.
I should have asked that...how is your current hole-shot?
