Note

engines similar while using a curve.
b The shape of the curve depends on the
type of speed sensor you selected when
making the curve (see sections 10-5-1 and
10-5).
c More information about fuel consumption
curves is available in Navman’s
Diesel flow
sensors installation and operation manual.
Using a curve
Compare your boat’s performance now, at the
current RPMs, with the boat’s performance
when you made the curve. You can compare
your boat’s performance now with a curve
made under ideal conditions or with a curve
made under similar conditions.
Information in a curve
A RPM of the boat now. For a twin engine
boat, the RPM is the average of the two
RPMs.
B Red curve: boat speeds at different
RPMs recorded when you made this fuel
consumption curve.
C Red marker: the boat speed now. This
marker is below the red curve, showing that
the boat speed now at this RPM is less than
when you recorded the curve.
D Blue curve: fuel consumption at different
RPMs recorded when you made this fuel
consumption curve.
E Blue marker: the fuel consumption now.
This marker is below the blue curve,
showing that the fuel consumption now at
this RPM is better than when you recorded
the curve.
F If the blue curve has a dip, then running the
boat at this RPM will give the best speed for
the least fuel consumption.
