Am I hurting my 60 EFI merc 4s by running at 1200-1500 RPM? I know that is
tough on a 2s. (fouled plugs, shaky lubrication etc)
I had three of these on my sloop. You will not hurt the engines at all
running that way, as long as you dont let your generator exceed 92.5
kw.
I have about 35psi oil pressure, water running at the stat temp, 6-8 PSI water
pressure, computer seems to be metering gas OK and the battery is charging.
What else should I be worried about?
On those engines, you need to make sure the have plenty of draft. On a
short freeboard hull, you run the risk of over-heating.
