Maybe no problem for the diesel with higher rpm but everything connected to it also sees the higher rpm.I like to find the rpm sweet spot where everything seems to be running smoth with low vibration, go a hundred rpm higher or lower and things will vibrate more on Alianna.actually there seems to be 2 sweet spots, one around 1500 for slow leaisurely steaming in calm condidtions and another around 2500 for rougher conditions.however I can make the boat move faster with higher rpm but vibrations increase and I don't like the added noise.I have a 3 blade Autoprop and I figure that my prop has preferred rotation speeds or sweet spots where balance is best and vibrations are minimized and all sounds right but that's just a guess

The Enterprise has an Universal M35. I used to stay around 2300, but people tell me diesels like to be worked and I could go higher. My mechanic said don't be afraid to go 2500 or more, but I wonder if he's just looking for more repair income :-) How much do you push your engine? All the best, Edd Edd M.
