Reply To: Question on Engine/Prop load

[marks737]

Thanks again Steve. I’ll definitely do an RPM/Fuel burn chart. If you don’t mind, I’m still a little confused as to how weight has no bearing on load and fuel burn. For example…if the same engines and props are driving two different boats. One weighs 20,000lbs and the other 35,000lbs. Wouldn’t the engines on the 35,000lb boat be under a much greater load/fuel burn to achieve the same RPM’s? Just trying to understand.
