[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 452316, member: 15636"] Too low ... you're borderline lugging. I find the best performance is to be no more than 200 RPMs off the rated/stated maximum with the 'usual load' carried. Who cares when running alone with light load and fuel load> ... just throttle back. You add more gear [i]... and boats only get HEAVIER as the season and years go on ...[/i] and you will be lugging that motor. That can kill a motor at worst or at least take years off their useful life, at best. [/QUOTE]
