"We purchased a 1982 Ocean Ale
"We purchased a 1982 Ocean Alexander Mk1 with twin 6-71's. We had Deeres and Cummins on our last boats so are really not familiar with the DD. The engine survey came back great and they are spotless engines with not a hint of smoke (2600hrs). We were told by the PO that fuel consumption is around 8 gal total an hour @ 1650 RPM, we seem to have come up with different numbers than that so far. On survey we got 2350 rpms on each engine what should we be running at? Is there anything we need to know besides the fact that these are loud engines."
