IIRC...550-600 in gear, higher in neutral but no higher than 800rpm

RE: 1991 SN idle

ok because when i kick it into gear it just seems to be too high, like we should be able to idle towards the dock at a slower speed than my present idle speed will allow

RE: 1991 SN idle

When i need to go slow its a constant bump into gear then back to neutral, bump in gear.....

RE: 1991 SN idle

ah ok so it is normal......

bumping it in and out of gear is the ultimate for control when approaching a dock. Remember most , if not all inboards only turn when they are in gear and Nautiques pull to the port side in reverse. Plan your docking accordingly. I am still adjusting after owning a Supreme for 15 yrs. No damage done yet.

[no its never been a problem at all docking....just wanted to make sure this was normal....this is our first true inboard so we are learning as we go...
