In my every day running around the lake what rpm should I mostly cruise at.I know it peaks at 6300 but I would think it shouldn't run balls out all the time.TIA

Depends on your boat, your propping/rigging, and your own personal preference.
Ultimately, it's best to see the majority of an engine's runtime in the 3000-4500 RPM range. That does not, however, prohibit running the engine up to, and including it's recommended maximum RPM's (under load, in the water) for extended periods of time.
If your would, please take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the Required info (serial number) when posting. Thanks!
