I do not have but they do run approximately 2 pitches lower than the two strokes did. This is because the lower unit has less slip and the extra rpm available. I would drop some more pitch to get to 6100/6200 rpm as everything will get better. Also there is a chance you are not getting 100% throttle. This can only be checked via merc programs on computers so it has to get into the shop and show 100% repeatedly many times in a row. (It's common to get them and only be getting 90%)
