Cruising speed
Operating the engine at wide open throttle (WOT)
should be avoided since it is both uneconomical and
uncomfortable. Volvo Penta recommends a cruising
speed in the range 300 - 500 rpm lower than maxi-
mum rpm at WOT. Depending on hull type, choice of
propeller, load and conditions etc. the maximum engi-
ne speed at top speed can vary, but it should be wit-
hin the WOT range.
Wide Open Throttle (WOT) range:
3.0GS
4.3GL
........................................... 4200–4600 rpm
............................................ 4200–4600 rpm
4.3GS/Gi
....................................... 4400–4800 rpm
5.0GL
5.0Gi
............................................ 4400–4800 rpm
............................................. 4800–5000 rpm
5.7GS
5.7GSi
........................................... 4400–4800 rpm
.......................................... 4600–5000 rpm
Power Trim
The hydraulic trim system (Power Trim) makes it pos-
sible to adjust the boat’s trim for maximum comfort
and fuel economy in different operating conditions.
Every boat has its own unique characteristics that are
also affected by external factors. When you have got
to know your boat thoroughly you can experiment
with the best trim angles for different speed, load and
sea conditions. It can generally be said that when the
boat feels well-balanced, easy to steer and pleasant
to operate, then that is the optimal trim angle for the
boat. For information about the Power Trim controls
and instruments: See chapter Power Trim.
With the drive in the "Trim range".
WARNING! The drive should not be trimmed vi-
olently when running at high speed. If the bow
is lowered at high speed the boat’s ability to
hold a course may become unstable. To a great
extent this is dependant on the shape of the hull
and will vary from boat to boat. However, even if
safety is not compromised the result may be an
unpleasant experience for driver and passen-
gers, who may lose confidence in the boat’s
handling.
