			allmost forgot, and this should be the first thing you do before you do any other trouble shooting, is the tach accurate? Check it with a known good tach or a shop tach

			If the motor is tuned and all else fails try down sizing from the 15 inch prop, it may be too much . Try a 14 1/4 x 17 prop and see if your rpms come up. That should get you over 5000. One other thing may be the motor is too low in the water. Make sure your cavitation plate is even with the keel of you hull before you switch props.

			A friend of mine had a similiar RPM problem. Finally found out that the fuel line was collapsing. Therefore, restricting the fuel flow. Replaced the fuel line with the correct size,problem solved.
