I'm experiencing an overheating issue that seems to crop up when I'm running at 3000 RPM for about 10 minutes. The alarm sounds, I reduce RPMs to 1000 RPM, alarm goes away. If I run the engine at 2500, no alarm.
Typical, so I'm going to start troubleshoot the whole cooling system.
However, the question I'd like to ask is what is the best way of simulating a large load TIED to the dock? I'm thinking that I'd just put it into gear, rev up the RPMs to ????.
That is the question. Being tied to a dock WILL load the engine, but obviously I wouldn't go to 3000 RPM. Has anybody had success loading an engine dock side with a 2GM20F, if so, what RPM is recommended? 1000? 1500? 2000? What is "safe" for the engine, transmission, prop?
Thanks!
