    ETEC 200HO mpg jumping alot from 2500rpm to 3000rpm

    Hi!

    I repowered last year with a etec 200HO 2012 model M2 gearcase. I love the power and sound compared to the Suzuki DF175 I had before.

    Top speed is 58,7 mhp at 5500rpm using a Raker II 22P (epoxy plugged vent holes).

    If I want to just cruise at low speed it seems to be nothing between 2500 rpm and 3000rpm. At 2500 it goes 20,7mph using 3,7gph (5,6mpg) which is very good but if I want to go a little bit faster the rev jumps to 3000 and it goes just 25,5mph using 6,35gph (4 mpg). Is this normal for these engines? Is it that nonlinear?

    Any advice is highly appreciated!

    What boat is it on and how high is it mounted? Raker may not be the best choice for your boat/set up

    It`s on a 21 feet bow rider with 18.5 degrees v hull, 1800 lbs (boat only), it is mounted as high as possible and I clearly see the anti cavitation plate (this gave the best top speed and cruising economy).
