The rev limiter does just that. It keeps the engine from exceeding the preset rpm limit. In your case, that would be 5300rpms +/- 50rpms. The XZ is fine at those rpms, but a drive shower is always a good investment to keep the heat down on the top cap.

Blkspringer,

Sounds like your heat is running good, I spin my 500efi at 5250 @WOT. You could maybe get another 100-200 rpm thus 1-2 mph by labbing the prop but if you are happy with it leave it alone.

I am assuming you have a 28p Bravo? I am using a 25 Hydro for my #s and getting 74 gps, 78 Speedo

WILL;)

ANSWER... "All of them" haha.

Seriously, I also have 28 B1's. The non-lab'd ones spin just as everyone else has attested. Lab'd get appx. 225 more RPM's. Done by Merc....

Blkspringer, I did not get chance to try my boat other than a test drive. Have to wait till spring:(

Nitro,

You are in for a long winter. I bought mine last November. It was the longest winter of my life. The factory sets the boats up perfectly. They are dialed in right out of the shrink wrap. I will be interested to hear how it runs with a 525. Enjoy.

27Fountain,
I am running a 28p Bravo. Seems to run great. Any suggestions on a second prop?
