WOT I am running 5870 RPM with 5800 being listed as Max. Called Mercury and they agree it should not be over 5800. My Dealer is great to work with and super helpful he only put a 14 on based on the Bennington chart.
The Flo Torq IV hub kit for Tempest on the 150 4S is supposed to reduce the prop knock- but the prop itself will run a bit sloppy on the shaft and appear to be loose. On my rig which is a StarCraft SF-176 SC with 150 4S I run the Merc Trophy Plus prop- which has a vented hub and does not knock at all. Our 150 four stroke is very closely related to the 150 ProXS which makes 5 more HP at 200 more RPM.

Im not saying the only fault is the motor height but you are dragging 5 more motor through the water than necessary.
