Re: merc 502 RPM question

Thanks guys, previous owner had different props on the boat . I am changing them and that should get me into the high 4000 RPM range. Not really interested in getting into the 5000 range just for reliability factor.

Yes Bernie this is the boat for sale. I should just sell it instead of making it perfect.... .but just what I do !!
