I have a new 115 that I bought from local dealer where I live. They mounted and installed it.
I followed the break in by the book. At full throttle I cannot exceed 4800 rpms.
The dealer suggested I needed a higher rpm prop.
Changing the prop did not make a difference, aside from charging me $300. for changing prop and changing oil at 10 hour break in.
I was also having cavitation and lowered out board.
1 would cavitation issue contribute to not getting full rpms at WOT, I cannot exceed 4800
Second Can I just adjust the throttle cable linkage (shorten it?) to increase to proper rpms?
Are there other solutions. The dealer here is not particularly interested in investing time to help address the issue. Bought this motor for our commercial fishing boat and cannot fish until we get motor issue dialed in, so hoping for help in getting this addressed.
Thank you.
