I just purchased the same 50. 1 year wait due to supply chain. I was hoping I could troll. Slower the better. When you said 1.5 knots, can you consistently keep it at that speed ? What length is your boat ?That's what I need ! Thanks mate
I have a 17' skiff with a 50hp tohatsu tldi. On a calm day WOT 5600rpm 22kts. 4200rpm 16kts. The boats not built for speed and max recommended hp is 90 so I'm at the low end of the hp range but I can blast around long island sound all day on $20 in fuel 👍
That's gonna depend on the size of your boat, hull shape, weight etc. Personally I get about 35mph top but that's a bit uncomfortable on a boat that's not made for speed. At 12-15mph I get amazing economy

What is the fuel consumption at 4000rpm?
What size prop and pitch are you running. Thanks

My boat is 18feet long and weighs just over a ton. Yes, I can troll at just about any speed.
How big is your boat, I have 17ft bayliner planning to put 50hp tohatsu on it.

Hey mate please tell me the top speed it gets to would help so much
