Hi,
i have the SR5,4 with the Yam 75HP premix. The caviation plate is in line with the keel.
When driving , there is too much spray from the engine. I think it is too deep.So i have a top speed of 60km/h with 5200 revs. Prop is a 13 1/2 x 17p
How do you have the engine mounted?

Hi,
that means 1 Inch upper the keel?
Do you have experience with the speed?
Mine is a 75hp , but more compression and other ignition. Should also have around 85hp.
Which prop do you use and what are max revs with it?
Thanks Mike
