Hi,
I have a Benetau 361 year 2000 with a Westerbeke 30B3 and I am trying to adjust the idle. If I set the idle around 1050 RPM the engine seems to be running smooth but as soon as I engage the reverse it start to shake badly so I have to increase the rpm quickly. It is not as bad when I put it forward but still not smooth. What are the minimum and maximum rpm for this engine? If I lower the rpm the engine shake and if I increase it then I move to fast coming into my slip.
I bought a digital laser tach to adjust the control panel rpm because it was not very accurate and I think I got it to show the proper rpm. I want to find out what is the maximum rpm because I just installed a 16in 3 blades VariProfile and I want to insure that the forward pitch is adjusted properly.
Any advice,help will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Georges
