I am looking at using a boat on the non tidal thames 99% of the time, but my concern is that a 25' boat with a 175hp outboard petrol engine would not do the engine any favours running at just over tick over most of the time cruising at 5mph maximum.
I could replace the engine but I plan to take her along the cost once a year so it would be hassle/expense swopping engines.
So my question to you experienced thames boaters with bigger engines is am I worrying unnecessarily or
