This has been discussed in a few different threads lately so I logged my fuel burn, load % and EGT's this past weekend.
I know some disagree but from personal experience, these EGT temps would be 50 F higher in the heat of summer. Air temp was around 60 with water temps at 70 yesterday.
The boat was lightly loaded with 5 people, 1/4 tank of fuel and water. Data is average between both engines.
Props are 28 x 31 with #2 cup
2000 18.7 GPH 61% LOAD 956 F
1900 17.2 GPH 59% LOAD 994 F
1800 14.9 GPH 52% LOAD 1020 F
1700 13.7 GPH 50% LOAD 1044 F
1600 11.0 GPH 43% LOAD 1040 F
1500 9.30 GPH 42% LOAD 1033 F
