Hi,
Was just hoping for advice on what RPMs are safe to run on my tender. It's a Caribe DL11 with a 2009 40hp Mercury 3 cylinder EFI. For a run yesterday, the most comfortable cruise was 26MPH at 5,000RPM but I wasn't sure if those RPMs were safe for longer runs? The tender's probably a bit underpropped as it shoots straight past the 6,000rpm rated WOT if floored - it may have been set up that way for towing tubes etc by the PO.
Any thoughts?
Paul
