Hi,
I have a Beneteau Antares 8 with a 200HP Nanni T4.200 engine. Quite often I cruise at WOT (c 3600 rpm) which doesn't see to do any harm to the engine (temperature and oil pressure are fine).
However this obviously uses a lot of fuel, and may put some strain on the engine (although it seems fine).
My question is what rpm do others use for cruising in similar (or identical) engines/boats?
Also, does it do any harm running these engines at WOT.
The max rated rpm is 3400, and I have been advised that 3200 is a good cruising rpm for the nanni T4.200.
Thanks
Hugh
