I’m wondering what are the long term effects of overproping? The engine on my 86 Cape Dory will only do about 2600 rpm at wide open throttle (WOT), it should be turning at 3000+. I’ve had the boat a little over two years and I wouldn’t be surprised if it has been over propped it’s entire life. Anyone know what the long term effects could be? In all other respects the engine runs very well, no smoke, easy starting, etc. I’ll look into either getting a new prop or this one reworked at next years haul out.
Thanks,
Tom
