I just repowered a 1995 13 dauntless with an 08 Evinrude 50 E-Tec. I have just had time to run it about 2hrs, it will jump on plane and fly. It is a big difference from the original 1995 40 Evinrude. I am running a 15pitch aluminum and got these results; WOT with just me in the boat (200lbs) was 5,500. With my wife and kids it would only turn 5,300. I picked up up a 13 pitch today and hopefully can run it soon. I am hopeful this will get it dialed in to the 5,500 to 6,000 rpm range.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

Where is the anti-cavitation plate in relation to the bottom of the hull? Above, at or below and by how much?
What will your typical load be?

anti cavitation plate is "at or below" the hull I believe. I will verify this next time I am with the boat, motor is mounted in the lowest possible position as the old 40 was. I decided not to move the engine up a notch, due to the 40 had a good hole shot, (we ski and tube my 8 and 9 yr. olds) and cruise. Typical load would be the 4 of us, my thought was to get the boat running in the "range" with the typical load.
