I don't seem to have a very good technique for trimming the outdrive on my 260 Sundancer. I would like to know your trimming technique for best cruise performance.
As a data point on my boat. I have a Mag 350 engine w duo-prop. Normal cruise is 3900 rpm at 25 mph, and the best I can tell I'm getting about 1.8 mpg. If you believe the trim gauge, it's about 3 units below center. However, when I take the boat out of the water, it appears the outdrive has a lot of up trim.
