[Public-list] 78 Amp alternator/Atomic 4

[George Dinwiddie]

How are you measuring the speed?  Are you getting only 1500 rpm no
matter how far you push the gas lever?  Can you get better than 1500 rpm
in neutral?

Yes, you can scrub a bottom painted with ablative paint.  You just don't
want to scrub any harder than necessary.
