Break in and run on 225
Got to finally put her in the water today. After break in period I ran motor to wot at 6000 rpm, 42 mph gauge reads 2.1 mpg. At 4400 rpm, 30 mph gauge says 3.2 mpg. The motor was mounted a couple of inches higher than my Yami. Cavitation plate a couple inches higher than the bottom of keel. While running, it appears to be submerged, but just a little bit of trim and it sounds like I’m pulling in air.
