600 to 800 rpm is a good range to keep the clunk down when shifting gears you just have to be carefull to adjust it so that it does not stall when your docking because if you get to low it will stall at the worst time<br /><br />tommays
achris. "in forward gear" ?? I thought idle must your prop is not turning and the engine is just turning over with no gear engage. I have a mercruiser and it idle at about 550 to about 600 rmp after the engine is warm up.
beezee,<br /><br />Yes, in forward gear! with no throttle opening.<br /><br />This is from the Merc service manual.<br /><br />See 2(f), 2(g)<br /><br />
