smoothest. For best economy in small chop extend the trim tabs fully and cruise at 3200-3400 RPM.
FILLING THE DIESEL FUEL TANKS
Fuel gauges are at the upper port helm console. Start slowly when fueling either tank. Use a standard
hose and nozzle (like those on auto gas pumps). Fuel each tank, filling both the tanks completely but do
not spill fuel! You can control the flow rate by sound, as the fill pipes make the characteristic “getting to the
top of the bottle” pitch change when the fill pipes begin to fill after the tanks themselves are full. The fuel
gauges register when the engine is off. In the right light they can be seen while fueling, or someone else
can monitor fueling progress. Other than for returning the boat after charter it is most economical to run
with less than full fuel and water. We typically fill to 5/8ths tank and refill when at about ¼ tank. There is no
reason to carry 300 miles of fuel at all times.
