How do I Find out if I'am getting the full HP/RPMs from my 4 stroke 50 hp Honda OB. It's all brand new, and Iam only getting about 9.9 mph, with an empty balast

Get a tachometer

And check your RPM at full throttle. Your manual will give you expected (optimim) operating range at full throttle. Should produce 50 horses at 5500 to 6000+ RPM. If not getting optimim RPM you may be over propped or have more serious fuel or electronic problems. You should be attaining mimimum of 18 to 20 mph. Best way to check speed is with GPS.
