Hoping to get some help determining My WOT Rpms to see if I’m propped correctly. 2 weeks a go I hit 5200 Rpm at WOT with 2 guys, full tank and full 65 gallon bait tank, but I had engine trimmed all the way down. This weekend I got to 5800 rpm at 49 MPH, but had to trim up 6 bars to get this RPM. Is this trimmed up too much for an accurate representation. I’m at 50 hours and am noticing an increase in oil level. I thought for sure I broke it in by the book, but never ran it WOT. I called Yamaha headquarters in Georgia and they told me to run at 5500 rpm’s for an hour straight and should take care of the problem. I have a 17” SWSII pitch an am trying to determine if I need to got down to a 15” pitch. I seem to be hearing run it hard....see if your propped correctly and if it keeps making oil let us know and we will discuss with Yamaha. Am I trimming way to high to reach 5800 rpm. This was max speed and max rpm. I did not trim so high that I noticed a decrease in speed. Pic attached. Thanks !!
