 23hp MBLT 9x5 on 1648-15mph?!?Just got it hooked up and with me, two batteries, full wood front deck, 5gal of gas, trolling motor and me (190 lbs) got 15mph.
Is this good? It didn't sound like the motor really revved up like I thought it should compared to my old 13hp MBLT. Your thoughts? _________________ 1648 Lundau W/ MudBuddy 23hp LT(Work in Progress) |

Re: 23hp MBLT 9x5 on 1648-15mph?!? Is your boat beat up on the bottom?

23hp MBLT 9x5 on 1648-15mph?!? Prop is a fairly new MB 9x5, boat is smooth with frog spit (same as steelflex) coating on bottom and smooth. Motor turns 2990rpm's. Throttle is wide open and the cable is tight and it pulls the throttle flap to lock..... Drive shaft isn't bound up.... Got a good bit of weight in the boat but with that prop, it should rev out.

Re: 23hp MBLT 9x5 on 1648-15mph?!? I'm no expert, but that sounds like a reasonable speed for that setup.

Re: 23hp MBLT 9x5 on 1648-15mph?!? I agree that doesnt sound like to bad of a speed depending on how heavy your boat is... Ive got the same motor and with a couple guys in my boat we get around 15
