Edd, My Universal 25XPB has a max rpm (one hour) of 2900-3000 rpm. The manual states cruise is 80% of that. I run 2450 rpm as cruise. The engine seems to like it. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 11:16 AM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wr

Those extra rpm's make a difference when being hit head-on by waves, or even chop. The added ability to accelerate faster back up to hull speed will make your average speed over time faster, even though you won't be exceeding hull speed. How fast you recover after

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 ho

Hi Edd, I hear 2750 is the sweet spot for an engine w 3600 max RPM I just ran three days to get my boat from AC to Magothy River, Md. My M4-30 liked 2750 for the first day running at max, 195 degrees. Diesels like to run hot and run loaded. They start carboning up if they are loaded less than

I have an M35B in Imzadi. Max RPM is 3000 for that engine. IIRC the max torque is between 2400 and 2600 RPM - which is consistent with the rule of thumb that max torque is at about 80% of max RPM. Your engine will thank you if you use it regularly and with significant load. Idling for extended

A good rule of thumb is to max out the RPMs when you're under way. Note the number. About 75% of that is a good cruising RPM but many people will go a little lower. IE if you max out at 3200 RPM, then 2400 would be fine, but I would probably run at 2200 to conserve fuel. Running at max for brief pe
