We are running a 1974 318 Chrysler inboard. What octane would you use?
Another question....The PO ran the boat consistantly at 4000 rpm which keeps her on top a little more but she should, and does, sound better at around 3800. WOT rpm is about 4700. Reconditioned prop. Is it suggested I continue running her at 4000? I wish I knew her speed at different rpm's for imput. Fuel economy is an issue but at this point I am more concerned what would be best to prolong the life of the motor.
Thanks!
