Its a 1998 3 liter carburated salt water series. I'm not sure what the red line is, but I would assume that at 5600 RPM, I've got to be pretty close. It is an electro-hydraulic unit so I can adjust it on the fly and I do have a water pressure gauge on the boat, but I wonder about it's efficacy.
As to the prop, it does not appear that I could turn a much larger diameter wheel, but was wondering about upping the pitch a bit. Do the chingered edges of the blades contribute significantly to slip?
I guess all will be answered when I install the jack plate and put the old girl in the lake.
