I have a 2006 evinrude etec 2 stroke on my 16 foot all weld and I am wondering if anyone out there has one and if so what is there top speed? I have a 13.25x17 prop on it and I can't get the boat to run over 29mph at 5000 rpms.... Any help would be much appreciated!
What horsepower is it? 5000 rpms is too low, your prop has too much pitch. You can have a good prop guy re-pitch it and raise your outboard at the transom.
It is a 13.25 x 17 pitch.... It is a 40 horse so I am going to try a 13 pitch and see what it will do
A 13p should get you up around 5800 rpm. Not sure what the recommended RPM range is for the E-Tec but that sounds just about right. That 17p is just way too much pitch for that motor and a prop doesn't need to be repitched up or down more than one degree. If I prop guy tells you he can pitch one down two or three degrees find another prop guy. You are much better off finding 13p and then just selling the 17.
