If you have a CDI-box with screw terminals disconnect the white wire between the CDI-unit and the control-unit below the CDI. This will most probably also disable the slow down function on oil and temp-alarms but the horn will still sound upon alarm.
If you have a newer CDI with the cables going directly into the CDI-unit you just cut the grey wire loop.

With the 27P prop I have the rpms will be about 6100 right where the rev limiter on the Excel supposedly comes in. I don't plan on revving much higher but want the limiter out of the picture. For short bursts 30 seconds max at full throttle I have run up to 6700 with another one without any issues. (limiter had been disconnected by previous owner)
.....and I think the warranty period is over.Last edited by BQUICK; 11-14-2012, 12:53 PM.

Hopefully it holds together at 6700RPM's, but I think that checking the torque and horsepower curves for that motor may indicate not much if anything to be gained by higher RPM's?....I used to trim my 115 Yamaha 2 stroke up to 5800RPM's for extended runs without issue...Good Luck!
