I do just about the same thing, but I actually never use the telegraph. Either set exact speed or press 1~5 for respective telegraph settings. Like I said, 9kts indicated can be anything from 9.000 to 9.999, but nevermind, I think the matter can be considered solved: Use 10kts for good speed/range balance, use 9kts if you want better fuel efficiency. Anyone feel free to disagree, but that's what I'm sticking with.

Ya, well didn't know if you knew about that button. thought you might be new since you didn't know about the 10kts thing

Well, I find that 9 (or 9+) kts gives me about close to 17,000 miles cruising range at the start of a patrol...
