What prop are you running? I would expect a 21 pitch i would think it will take a 17 pitch. Is 4500 when your trimmed up in a calm sea? When your trimmed in is the engine getting spayed with water?
On our RIBTEC the engine was set far to low, I have lifted it two holes up and it know pulls 2knots more get another 300 revs and doesn't spray any water up on the engine.
I have a full set of props for testing our new boats but your a little far away to nip around and test.
Can anybody tell me the running -in procedure for this motor?
I'm told its basically a Yamaha, assembled by Mercury - is that true?
Must try to find a manual!
Cheers

I have one arriving this week for our boat show boat - your information is out of date - the current 115EFI is actually the same as the 4 cylinder Verado block but without the supercharger. We are having the optional Smartcraft gauges which require the addition of a few senders to the motor and the two gauges.
FYI the 115EFI used to be a Yamaha powerhead assembled onto a Mercury leg and gearbox.
Email me next week with any questions you might have and I might have a had a chance to read the manual by then!
