I just purchased a 2012 2275GL with a Merc 115. It has a 15p prop. I bought it three weeks ago with 158 hours, and has 165. I power washed the toons in the process of everything below.
At WOT i am about 5600 rpm with 2 adults and 1 kid. I get 21.5 mph via gps. At 5000rpm i get 19mph.The pitch is 15 on the prop and I checked my prop and it is not spun. When in Nuetral and i spin the prop foward i get a little clicking, and a lot louder when spinning backward (may be normal but just trying to give info). I also get some vibration at lower rpm, which may be normal and may have been there when i bought.
I assume the speed is low. People mentioned to check Mercury website for a prop size and the lowest speed is 26.
Is ther a potention issue? What do i check. Was hoping for 26-27mph.
