Ahoy.

I currently have a perkins 4-108 in my 41 foot Fermosa, we live aboard and she weighs 40000lbs in the slings. Engine yr is 1977 and is coupled up to a 2:1 velvet drive.
I never run her more than about 1800-1900 rpm.
My question is , can I opperate this engine at higher rpms, and if so how high without hurting her. If I read the manual right, it claims I can run her up to 3600rpm. This seems very high to me??

'We sold a Deutz 6 cylinder to a new customer in Illinois within weeks of listing! Because the customer contacted us directly from the start, the deal went very smoothly.'

Leon Weller, Diesel Power Supply Co, Texas, USA

'We bought a new John Deere engine via DieselEngineTrader.com for a great price and were able to sell it locally for $1000 less than our competition. We really appreciate the website - it's great!'

Ben Kauffman, Quaker Machine, PA, USA

'Listed a Perkins T6.354 on DieselEngineTrader and sold it after 5 month. With a listing fee of $5.00 per month and no commission, it was much cheaper and more effective than the magazine we also used.'
