evinrude 60hp 1995 triple
model BE60TLEOC.
once i get a jack plate and get this engine up about another 4 inches what would be the
optimum revs to get for maximum power ??? i will try to get the prop to suit the revs,even if i have to cut it down myself (im thinking about doing that already and take it to 12 3/4x23)
i know its what some call the clubfoot gearbox, but i just want to see what can be done with
what i have.
its not a racing boat its just i want to be a bit quicker than it is.

I take it that the revs will go up once a jackplate is fitted and engine raised ???
what sort of revs more would it go to compared to running fully submerged ?
What i plan is to have the centre of the bullet just 1 inch below the boat for top speed.
at the moment ive got cav plate just 2 inch above, and getting 5500 rpms from a 13 3/4 x23
semi-cleaver.
this prop is not a problem for the engine to spin up from idle, it just dont get full revs top end
and ive been told the prop likes to run high !!!!!

By taking the engine up another 4 inches what rev changes should i expect to see ?

i want to get this to 50mph, just the once would be good.

at the moment with the omc 13 3/4 x 23 semi-cleaver it works out around 19% slip @5500 rpms.
i am thinking getting it up might get more revs and less slip !!!!!!!!!!!
