Had a friend ask me a question today and did not know the answer, but I told him I would ask on the forum tonight.
He has a boat with a 115hp outboard and weighs 1500lbs, turns up 5800 RPMs. He has now put the engine on a houseboat and the engine only turns up 4500, houseboat weighs 5000lbs. Does weigh affect the RPMs or should the engine turn up the same RPMs no matter what it is pushing.
