Default Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda

Are you giving us the WOT of 5300 trimmed out, or motor trimmed down? I still think that you should be able to twist a 19 or 21 all the way to 6200 w/ that 225 on a V-20. The cavitation plate should be even or slightly above the hull bottom, or higher if the prop will hold on. After checking, your gear ration is 1.86:1, virtually identical to my Merc 150. I'm turning the same 17p prop to 5500 through the same gears. Something ain't right with that 225.
