It is a big difference from the original 1995 40 Evinrude. I am running a 15pitch aluminum and got these results; WOT with just me in the boat (200lbs) was 5,500. With my wife and kids it would only turn 5,300. I picked up up a 13 pitch today and hopefully can run it soon. I am hopeful this will get it dialed in to the 5,500 to 6,000 rpm range. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Above, at or below and by how much? What will your typical load be? 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

I will verify this next time I am with the boat, motor is mounted in the lowest possible position as the old 40 was. I decided not to move the engine up a notch, due to the 40 had a good hole shot, (we ski and tube my 8 and 9 yr. olds) and cruise. Typical load would be the 4 of us, my thought was to get the boat running in the "range" with the typical load.
