I was told by Suzuki reps that the motors should be able to reach the higher end of the maximum rpm range under normal load. This would allow the max rpm’s to be in the range with heavier than normal load. In addition, the motor will lug at all cruising speed the same way it lugs at wot so...

I did this for all wot rpms shown and trimmed up until speed stops increasing. Suzuki 16x17 has no change in speed past half trim but I can get rpms to as high as 5750 without ventilating.

My goal right now is to allow the motor to reach the rated rpms which is 6100. I don’t want the motor to lug and regardless of which prop I put on I seem to get similar performance. I’m looking for best cruise speed and economy with good traction and hole shot. Wot for each prop was around 41...

I have a 2003 222 fisherman and recently repowered with a 2022 DF250AP Suzuki. Original prop from dealer was 16”x20” and could only pull 5000 rpms. Swapped that out for a 16”x17” and now can just crack 5500 rpms at just over half trim. Both props are water grip Suzuki. I also tried an Suzuki...
