Re: engine cruising RPM
Hi Ryan,
I'll be interested in the replies! We've been told that the best fuel economy is at 1800 to 2000 rpm's. In smooth water we will get 5.5 kts at 1800 rpm.

Titanium drawer pulls! Cool!
Wow! Now THAT is boat jewelry! Bling! Bling!
I would want the idea of one just to yank the chain of some racing sailors I know who would sell their mother's souls to

Re: Onan Water Pump
Duane,
There are only two leak paths with this pump. The obvious one is from around the cover. Depending on which pump version you have, that might be sealed with an o-ring or a paper gasket.
