I forgot to mention if it should be in gear. 850 to 900 is about the same as
the normal idle speed on a car so that sounds about right.

The 3GM manual:
1) Warm up the engine for more than 5 minutes. Because lube oil does not reach
all themoving parts as soon as the engine is started.Operate the engine at
around 850-900 rpm for at least five minutes.

A friend of mine insists that you cannot warm up a Yanmar engine at idle
speed. When we are still in the slip he puts it in gear and runs at about half
throttle. None of the other sailors appear to do this. Unfortunately many do
not give the engine a chance to warm up at all. I am open to suggestions and
the reason for what you are doing.
