Can you turn the idle down that low on an outboard?
Yes. They really shouldn't idle that fast. My Yammi idled at 600 rpm. Carbon buildup is a concern with older large HP motors trolling at slow speeds. Hence the justification of a smaller kicker motor.

The thing used to shreik like a SOB when running too.
Common with Mercs. Older ones anyways.
