Mercury 60hp rpm limiter 5900 ?

Thought I’d do a quick video of the rpm limiter on my 2004 60hp mercury
Seems to cut in hard at 5900rpm

I always thought it was 5800 The tacho was bouncing around 5900/5950 The 40 merc 4 stroke I had was 6200/6250

@@merc625 wow thats alot, but does reaching max limit actually can affect motor?

@@merc625 Maybe new generations have difirent specs idk are engines still same, maybe there are some props that allowing to reach higher. but to be honest, u made perfect speeds and its crazy even at 6k

Yeah it’s definitely on the limiter at 5900rpm My 40hp 4 stroke limiter was 6250rpm
