Frequently Asked Questions
How does the V12 steerable gearcase affect fuel use?
The steerable gearcase and two-speed transmission can reduce drag and improve prop efficiency at cruise when trimmed correctly, potentially lowering fuel burn at mid-range RPM.
What cruise RPM is typical for the 600 V12?
Efficient cruise is often between 3800–4400 RPM depending on hull and load. Start within the optimal band and adjust trim and tabs to minimize fuel per mile.
Do twin or triple installations change results?
Multi‑engine setups add drag and weight but can operate at lower individual loads. Estimate per engine and scale by engine count; verify with sea trials.
