At the airline I work for we wash turbine engines in basicly the same fashion.
A turbo is a very simple version of a turbine engine.

I put reflective tape on the main pully to read engine RPM. I put it on
the prop shaft to verify transmission ratio and prop speed. I put it on
the alternator to compare alternator output to rpm.

If somebody tried to sell me turbo wash, I would have thought they were pulling
my leg.
When I was an aviator we used to send the young lieutenants to supply to pick
up some “jet wash” or a left-handed crescent wrench.
Thankfully, I don’t have a turbo either (except in my Suburban),

So when you use a laser/optical tach to check the boat's tachometer, where
do you put your reflective mark? On the prop shaft? The main pulley?

I have a Universal 25XPB but tachometers are pretty much the same across
manufacturers. I checked mine with a cheap optical tachometer. I used an
adjustment screw on the back to get it fairly accurate.
Every now and then I check it by running the engine up to max rpm. The
engine has a governor
The yanmar engines have an engine block drain. Most of the coolant should
come out by gravity. If you have a fresh water heater that is heated by
the engine you may find it convenient to disconnect or tap one of the lines
running to it. You have glycol coolant which "should" be captured and

I know for a fact that mine runs about 200 rpm low. I bought a laser tach
from the link below. I take that into account. Replacement doesn't make
it better. Mine has been low since new. It doesn't come off the
alternator either. It is a stock unit that had a pickup off the flywheel.

The accuracy of original tachs can be problematic. I’m pretty sure mine reads
4-500 rpm low. Near the top of the “ replace soon” list.

I bought some turbo wash at the boat show last year but have not used it.
It was $20 for a couple ounces, so I hope it is more than soap.

I just read this in a Yanmar Manual:
6) Washing the Turbocharger Blower
When engine speed seems sluggish or the exhaust color
poor, the blades of the turbocharger blower may be dirty.
Wash the blower in the following manner.

At 4 - 5 knots into wind and waves a consumption of 1.8 CND gallons per hour is
possible.
Very roughly a 4 stroke gas engine running efficiently will yield about 15 HP
at 1 gallon CND per hour.
Subtract losses for the alternator and water pumps and 1.8 might give you 20 -
24 HP at the prop.
Ya mar recommends running the engine full throttle 5 minutes every hour or 1
hour a day. The want you to heat things up to burn off carbon deposits.

Ok. So my engine is a Yanmar 2GM20F. I find the vibration "sweet spot" for
motoring is about 2200 rpm. Sounds like I should be pushing it harder
trying to find a sweet spot at a higher rpm? I can't recall what the
tachometer range is on my boat. I've also had someone mention pushing the
engine up
Whenever I'm running the engine I try to run it full-ish throttle. The
typically recommendation is greater that 80%. Some unwitting cruisers will
idle to charge batteries, or motor sail at low RPM. My max continuous RPM
is 3200. I try to reach ~2800. Fisherman have particular trouble since
Hello Wade,
Essentially it means running the engine at relatively high RPMs (I've seen the
number to by 85% of full speed) whenever reasonable, in gear and avoiding
running the engine solely to charge the batteries. Bruce Whitmore

Easy off works fine on Gel coat, but I wouldn’t try it with paint on paint.
