![]() 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. ![]()

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