Well with a new season, boat back in the water and working on tuning the engine..

- Idles well ~900 rpm with pressure gauge reading about 15psi
- Power tuned for idle
- In neutral can run the engine 2500 and more
- The dizzy flyweights cleaned and oiled and moving well (though still need to get Moyer springs)
- In fwd , on calm day doing 5 - 5.5kn at 1200 rpm (alberg 30)
- clean bottom fresh water

..and that is the top end. Adding any more throttle while in gear does nothing. From the start of this thread I know the prop is over sized and I think that is what is holding things back at this time. I'm planning to replace it for next season and live with what I have for this season.
