What size prop do you have now?
Pitch x Diameter[/quote]

I am getting the motor mounted higher on Monday at which time I will get the prop specs. The boat is at its storage which is miles away. I am curious to know if rpm will increase with height adjustment. The way it is now one would think the prop is not the correct pitch/diameter, 4800 rpm WOT and 36 mph with 2 people onboard does not sound optimal, not from what I've read here.
