RPM's fluctuate a bit when trolling

[Greg Weaver]

Hi all, 2003 6CTA 480CE

So I noticed today while trolling @620 Rpms 6 knots, I noticed my engine speed bumped up a few different time by about 150 rpms, then would drop back about a minute later.

It did this about 6 times total over 5 hours.

Only thing I did different today was run the fridge on DC power.

Other than that, boats runs perfect

any input would be appreciated

Thanks

Greg

I have the ED-1 displays

I will be running the boat in the next few days and i will keep an eye on it, my engines were synced so I’m not even sure which engine did it

keep you posted

Thanks Tony

If you have a “digital display” that allows you to “see” throttle %”, then watch that the next time you think it may happen again.. You may have a “iffy” throttle potentiometer. What type of controls?
