Default ETEC Report

Well Snaggers, got my first real opportunity to really run FishBones with the new engine, etec 200HO.
Two and three guys, coolers 3/4 tank, all the gear, cruise 3800-4000 rpm 27-29 mph
Top speed so far is 42mph and am hitting 5600 rpm.
Sea conditions were a little breezy with a quartering sea and just about a two foot chop.
Have not finished the 20 hour above 2500 rpm break in period yet, she is still double oiling.
As per the etec gurus i will se a couple hundred more rpms when that is done and a few more mph's.
I have found that though this prop looks like the one I would like to see her hold plane at lower rpms and speed like my old engine combo did for those bad chop days when I can't run over it.
