Whenever I'm running the engine I try to run it full-ish throttle. The typically recommendation is greater that 80%. Some unwitting cruisers will idle to charge batteries, or motor sail at low RPM. My max continuous RPM is 3200. I try to reach ~2800. Fisherman have particular trouble since trolling requires low rpm and sometimes idle rpm to keep the boat slow enough at 3 or 4 knots.
