have purchased a 46 ft. Viking Sportfish.. 1984 Detroit 892 Turbo
Hull No. ID

Both engines have been completely overhauled last spring and have
apprx. 450 hours on them.. Boat performs well while underload at 1950
rpm it cruises at 20-21 knotts. At 2350 rpm boat can run 24-25
knotts. No load engines run rpm up to 2650


First off, I'm neither a mechanic or a diesel expert, but I have some
questions.
1. What's "no load" rpm's "supposed" to be?
2. What is WOT "loaded"?
3. If you try to open a hatch/door to ER when at WOT underway, do you
have to open against a suction?
