Alright men, need a little help.
Here's my set up.
2008 ProCraft 192 SuperPro (18'6")
Mercury 175 ProXS
23 pitch Tempest Plus prop
63mph @ 5800 rpms
Water pressure 3-5psi @ idle, 12-14psi @ WOT.
The current specs from Mercury say that the WOT rpm range is 5350- 5750, but my owners manual says 5500-6000.
My questions
1. Am I missing something here, or has Mercury just changed the specs?
2. Am I in the danger zone at 5800 rpms?
3. Do I have the wrong prop? Should I go to a 24p or 25p to get rpms down?
4. I was worried about water pressure. Everyone I talk to tells me I need to be around 18psi @ WOT, however I was recently told that according to the service manual, I am right in the specified range.
I don't push the limits on her every time I'm in it, just want to get it set up for peak performance.
Thanks in advance for any input.
