I'll try it again. On display and did not want to get off the side of the road! -

No, it is the underside of a bridge, but it does kind of look like an aqueduct.

They’re cool… right up until they wipe out a good panfish population.

Question
Scoot
My motor tops out at about 5800 rpms. It's a 4-stroke 115 Yammy. I've always followed the conventional wisdom of not approaching the top rpm's when I'm running from spot to spot. Typically, I'll run at about 4600 to 4800- it's plenty fast and I assumed used less fuel.
However, I've heard recently that this isn't necessarily true. Is it true that 4-strokes will get better fuel efficiency and be easier on the motor when they're run at higher rpms (like 5300 to 5500)? For the life and health of my motor, what's the ideal rpms to run it at? For fuel efficiency, what's the ideal rpms to run it at? If these aren't the same, what's the ideal compromise to run it at?
