Hi,

I hope some people can help me out here.

I have a Pursuit 24 (aprox. 5000 lbs.) walkabout with 2 x 115 HP
Yamaha 4 cycle outboards.
3500 RPM show about 18 kts (GPS).

I am just wondering what a good cruising engine speed would be for
decent engine life. I have heard everything from 3500 to 6000!

Thanks,


I cruise comfortably at about 75% of WOT, or about 3500 rpm.


Try for about 1/2 to 2/3 of WOT on the lever itself with a fixed pitch
prop, this should yield about 75% of max revs as John suggests.

Play around till you find the sweet spot for your engine/boat.

& the Krause lie for the day is an oldie but a goodie:-)

So this lying idiot sees himself as circulating in the upper
circles, honestly this lying idiot thinks this is believable, which is
more proof of his total stupidity:-)

As far as your other complaints, well, almost every president in
my memory, and I *remember* Truman, Eisenhower (who cheated on his
wife), Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush, lied and
participated in deceit to one degree or another, and on issues far more
important than who was giving them blow jobs.

Good lord. I met *every* president in the damned group except
Bush, and I worked once for his father.
