We are about to head from Salem, MA to Nantucket through the Cape Cod Canal and Woods Hole. Both have strong current potential and it is a long(ish) trip so I expect we will have to motor for a good bit. We regularly motor along at 1500 to 1600 RPM (three blade prop) and move along at about 6 knots. I would like to know what RPMs other owners of the same engine regularly run and what they feel comfortable revving up to in case we have to deal with some nasty current. Thanks in advance.
