  1. mine is a older motor 2004 max rpm is 5500..also 40 gal tank and 2 batteries  mercury but really a yamaha motor made for merc.......plus a t top probly another 150 lbs ..4200 rpm is my "happy spot" 24mph  

  2. any motor trimmed for top speed will cavatate or vent as you say on a turn,just gotta drop it down a tad and it will grip..yea 800 rpm is a bit much for loaded boat probly workin a tad to get outa the hole,also,,I too have a 115 4 st. and had same issues with 4 people full tank and diving gear,dropped to a 15 in stainless tho alum would work fine and it helped a lot..i have a 19.6ft key largo,,, even with full load it still wont hit top rpm drop 200 lbs and im good to go..the 115 4 stroke is not as strong as i would like, even alone it just don't jump outa the water  ,once on plane then all is good..Bottom line we need at least 150 hp..but thats cost prohabative for me and i really enjoy 7mpg when i take trips out the back islands..So yea the 15 i would recomend ....

  3.  Yes If the bearing is really worn the armature is off centered and the electric field gets a little wacky,,,,also if ya didnt order check amazon found a starter for my dads 1968 riding tractor 56.00 at amazon 176.00 at techumsa (spell check) same exact part number and supplier.....just me 2 cents

  4. 4to6 lbrs from the fingers are great also,like to cube in 2 in chunks and deep fry  gotta be fresh tho proper cleaning and cookin is required...............like i tell people ya gut shoot a deer let it lay for a day and serve it up for the first time for someone and that will be the last deer meat they eat......proper killin,cleaning and cookin..is a must
