[QUOTE="Alumacraft, post: 218092, member: 2972"] Could I idle for say 8 hours, and not foul a spark plug or will I do any harm to the motor? anybody have a idle speed for a 40 hp, I know if you have a bigger boat it will be slower but... I need to troll between 1.5 and 2 mph, and the boat Im putting it on is only 300 lbs it a 14' Lund SSV, boats rated for a 35hp and max weight on transom of 230lbs, so a 40 hp that weighs in at 175lbs should be just fine.
