Edd,
This will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, as well as the specific model. My Yanmar tops out at 3600 rpm. Yanmar recommends running them at up to 85% of their continuous rating. My max continuous is 3400, so I run mine about 2900. That's how I get to Screwpile every year. 13 hours at 2900 rpm, each way. There's never any wind on the Chesapeake in July.

The Enterprise has an Universal M35. I used to stay around 2300, but people tell me diesels like to be worked and I could go higher. My mechanic said don't be afraid to go 2500 or more, but I wonder if he's just looking for more repair income :-) How much do you push your engine? All the best, Edd Edd M.
