I have posted this elsewhere with no answer so I try here.
What should be the RPM at WOT for a 2000 Sea Ray 310 with 350 engines and V-drive?
Thanks
 
the 350 MAG MPI has a recommended WOT rpm pf 4800-5200 rpm. the mentioned 4400-4800 seem valid for the 5.0 MPI, officially by the 5.0 MPI has 4600-5000 to be correct.

from where do you have your rev limiter at 4900 at the MPI ?

I got it from my clymer service manual, it shows 1998-2001 350 mag TBI and MPI max operating speed at 4400-4800 rpm.

It shows 2002-2004 at 4600- 5000 rpm and 5.0 mpi the same.

It also has rev limit activations on the same chart.
I would take mercruiser specs over clymers if they are different.
Is that for a 2000?
I know many newer engines have higher limits.

I'm inclined to go with your numbers because they are for the model year of the OP's engines. The link from Aerobat are for the new 350's. My 1997 8.2L, for example, has different specs than the new 8.2's listed from that link. I have the same RPM range but the other specs are slightly different.
