Motor doesn’t seem to be getting up to WOT. Lots of play in throttle cable once forward gear is engaged before the motor actually throttles up. Also idles a little bit high at times. The motor came with an 11 pitch prop, and I upgraded to a 19 pitch. Both props push the boat about 29-30 mph according to my Lowrance. Only difference being is the 19 doesn’t give me near as much low end torque as the 11 pitch. Beginning to think it’s a motor problem.
