WOT

WOT

This stands for “wide open throttle.” This simply means that the motor is running as fast as it possibly (safely) can with the current propeller size and payload in the boat. When the proper propeller size is used on the boat, the WOT rpm should fall within a particular range specified by the motor’s maker. This information is very important when trying to determine the suitability of a particular propeller size for your application. This is true even if you never run your boat that hard or that fast.
