New Boat(to me)

[rockyrhodes]

Recently purchased a 2006 2520 with a 2013 300hp Yamaha 4 stroke. On maiden
voyage with 1 person, 1/2 tank of fuel and 3blade (17-T/15-1/2) prop, engine would
only turn 5400rpm. Should it not turn closer to 6000.

There are plenty of posts on this subject here. Most likely motor is too deep and could be incorrectly propped. Did you trim it up to almost cavitation, then back down a touch?

If you don't have the manual for that 300, you can get one online.
