Default Thumbs Up & Down

No, mine (2QM20) is the older engine. Maximum RPM is 2800 (up to 1 hour
according to the rating) and Maximum Contiuous is 2600.

My prop is also matched to the boat which isn't always the case with
sailboats. That raises the fuel consumption because the engine is actually
producing its rated horsepower at maximum RPM. I'm getting more speed and
bucking ability but I'm paying for it.
