Default 1st time in 2 years {Felt Good} Pictures added 8/12/2009
Today finally after 2 years got the V-20 out for a ride, fishing out on Sound next week. I had a problem with the Merc after we 1st started it up after all that time with a popping in the exhaust, had to get the carbs rebuilt and fuel pump now it's runs like a top, running a 19p prop on the 150 WOT@4600 rpm today after getting the work done WOT I looked down 5300 rpm to much? I don't know were the extra RPM came from but it snappy as all heck, it ran good before but not like it does now.
Question I did not run above short burst @4400 rpm is possible the hub is slipping or is it time to go to a different pitch prop?
