Mileage at 1500 rpm (6mph): approximately 6.2mpg
Mileage at 2500 rpm(9mph): approximately 3.5 mpg Mileage at 3000 rpm(25mph): approximately 6.5mpg TILT! (occurs to me you kids don't fully appreciate that term)....... The performance curve seems out of whack. The boat travels 6 mph at 1500 rpm. Seems really slow, but let's use that. It ought to do 6mph at a fast idle, one would think. 2500 rpm is only 9 mph? Still seems really, really, really slow, but let's use that. If 2500 rpm is propelling this vessel at 9mph, it stretches the imagination to consider that adding 500 rpm will increase the speed by a factor of 2 1/2 times, or an additional 16mph. Not saying it isn't so, just that it seems very unusual. Sure the 2500 rpm isn't 19 mph, instead of 9? |
