 Decreased speed issues
I have a stock 2016 MB HDR 35 on a 1751 f4. I have around 11hrs on motor been noticing speed has seemed slower. When i first got the rig i could run 28mph with 3 people and some gear. Now 2 people with dozen dakotas 2 shotguns im around 25.
Any thoughts or opinions?

Check for leaking valves

 Re: Decreased speed issues
*facepalm* valve lash: search the forum, or Google it, videos on youtube.
Prop diameter: listed on the hub of your prop, since it's a big blade.

 Re: Decreased speed issues
If you've been running sand it's probably a combination of valves and worn prop.
ALL of the carb'ed engines need a good valve job after you put 20-30 hrs. on the engine.
I'm not sure exactly what the MB props measure when new. IF deadbird8 doesn't chime in on this post send him a PM and he can fill you in on MB prop specs.
