Cruising Speed

V6–225
Cruising Speed (RPM)
3150–3450
3450–3750
Volvo Penta recommends the cruising speeds in the
chart at left, based on 75% of maximum RPM at wide
open throttle (WOT). Operating the engine at WOT for
extended periods should be avoided since it is both
uneconomical and reduces engine life.
NOTICE!
The engine should reach maximum RPM at
WOT. If the engine exceeds maximum RPM or can not
reach maximum RPM, especially for extended peri-
ods, engine damage may occur. This type of damage
is not covered by warranty. See
Technical Data
for full
throttle operating ranges.
The engine should not be operated at RPMs above the
WOT range (see
Technical Data
). If the engine is rou-
tinely exceeding the WOT maximum RPM or is fre-
quently at limited RPM range (controlled by engine
computer) the boat should be taken to the dealer to
check for proper propeller size. If the engine will not
reach the WOT range, the boat may be overloaded or
over-propped and should be taken to the dealer for
correction.
Power Trim/Tilt
Trim
Controlling the trim system is an important part of
maneuvering a boat. Power trim provides this control
at the helm of the boat, allowing the operator full and
easy control of the trim system.
Power trim is normally used as part of accelerating, to
help get the boat on plane. Trim is also used to adjust
the angle of the boat after cruising or planing speed is
reached, and to adjust the boat for the sea conditions.
If you are new to boating or new to the type or size of
your new boat, study how the boat reacts to various
trim settings to determine the best setting for your boat
in various sea and wind conditions. Small changes in
trim angle are usually sufficient, avoid drastic changes
in trim if possible.
Tilt
Tilt is used to raise the drive above normal operating
angles. Examples are trailering, beaching, mooring,
and shallow water operation (see
).
