Cruising speed
Avoid operation at full throttle, for best fuel economy.
We recommend a cruising speed which is at least
10% below the maximum engine speed at full speed
(full throttle). The maximum engine speed will vary
due to propeller choice, load and sea conditions, but it
should be in the full throttle range.
Full throttle range:
D3-130A/160A/190A ........................... 3800–4100rpm
D3-130i/160i/190i ............................... 3800–4100rpm
D3-110i
............................................... 2700–3000rpm
If the engine does not reach the full throttle range,
this could be caused by a number of factors which are
noted in the “Fault tracing” chapter. If the engine speed
exceeds the full throttle range, select a coarser pitch
propeller. Ask your Volvo Penta dealer for advice.
