Anything over idle is not good. Take it from me I just had to replace my input shaft on the lower unit and splined coupling. Both were rounded out. And I don't do it that often. 285 hours on the unit. At the shop where I get my parts they had boxes of input shafts and splined coupling that were rounded out. Its not made for that. |

Idle should almost always be 1000-1300 rpm, depending on the setup. In most cases, 1200-1250. |

Get out there and idle it down on the water as low as it will go before it chokes out under a load. My 24 Honda won't go below 1200 very well, but I have friends with 23's that can go 800-900 |
