Hi All,
Something that my motor has always done is have inconsistent RPM for any given day. Some days it will give me 2000 RPM at WOT, some days only 1700.
The other day I had her up to 2250 RPM at WOT and cruised at 2000. This was after I gave the prop a good cleaning. This made me very happy.
Does anyone else experience this?
One thing I noticed was it will run at a lower RPM when I first motor out of the marina. I will shut it down and sail for a while. Start it back up and it will usually run better and give me a few more RPM.
Just recently I actually heard the motor lose 150 or so RPM while cruising at 1900 or so. My alternator was not putting out and I thought it might have kicked in but this was not the case. It has since been replaced.
Any ideas?
