To state the obvious, the rpm used to back down depends on the engine. My Lehman cruises at 1600-1800 rpm. When I back down using the Lehman I go to 1000 rpm. My Yanmar auxiliary engine cruises at 2000-2400. If I used the Yanmar I would jump up the rpm when backing down to perhaps 1600 or so.
We have a Rocna and we still always back down. My preference.
