Sorta hard to get hard data on the extent of engine life extension by properly loading an engine.

There are many tales of woe from the fish guys (bigger engines and noisemakers) about the disaster of underloading.

A 25% decrease in fuel burn is of no consiquences on a 200 hour a year 3GPH boat.

How long between engine rebuilds IS a concern.

More conjecture. I'll see if the Skenes tables you mentioned in another thread have any useful information.
