What is the top speed of a MerCruiser?
Re: 3.0 mercruiser top speed?? The max RPM for WOT on the engine is 4400 - 4800 so you don't want to run it at 5000. Checking the prop and compression is a good place to start.
What rpm should my engine run at?
The standard 1992 3.0L (115HP) should be propped to run between 4200-4600 RPM. If it's a 3.0 LX (135HP) it should be propped to run between 4400-4800 RPM. Download factory manual #13 for all the specs on your engine from here: If you have your boat trimmed correctly, then 29 MPH is a little slow.
