Cummins 220 cruising speed on 40 or 43

Post by **brassbrendan** » Mon Dec 17, 2018 2:57 pm

Wondering if "Owner's Guide" is accurate in its description of our trawler cruise speed upped to 12-14 when outfitted with pair Cummins 220's over Lehman 135's.

I understand our boats are displacements, etc...

I'd believe 12, but not 14 as a cruising speed. That's probably 2200 rpm on that engine. 14 max I would believe.
I looked at a Albin 40 with a single Cummins 220 and he claimed 10 as a cruising speed and 13 max. Verified by a friend I talked with years later, so he had no reason to exaggerate at that point.

"Pair?" Was that an error or ??

Rob some 40s and all or most of the 43s had twins.

Had no idea, I thought only the Palm Beach had the twins in the earlier model lineup. Thanks.

Had a 37 palm beach with TAMD 40b's. Very Lightly loaded I might get 13 knots @ 2800. Loaded to cruise it was a 10 knot boat max. I would think those figures will not show with the boat Ready to cruise.
Years ago a friend of mine bought an egg harbor inStamford, at the former albin home. Next to the egg was a 43 with a 6v92TI in it. My comment to the broker was, Man that thing must move now, yup got 14 knots burning 40 gallons/hr. They are heavy heavy boats.
