Triple PARSUN F300 Outboards Power a Thai Boat to 41.1 Knots
Application Overview
A boat operating in Thailand’s Andaman Sea is equipped with three PARSUN F300 four-stroke outboards, delivering a combined 900 horsepower.
The owner’s detailed specifications list a hull length of 14.40 meters and a beam of 3.55 meters. During the recorded test, the boat carried six people and operated in slight waves.
Recorded Performance
Equipped with 17-inch propellers, the triple-F300 installation achieved a recorded maximum speed of 41.1 knots at 5,460 RPM.
At 4,100 RPM, the boat recorded 30.9 knots, with combined fuel consumption of 101.7 L/h across all three engines. This corresponds to approximately 3.29 liters per nautical mile at that operating point.
At the recorded maximum speed, total fuel consumption was 291.6 L/h.
Why the Setup Fits
This case demonstrates the F300 in a triple-engine configuration, extending its application beyond single- and twin-engine installations. The recorded results show the setup powering this boat above 40 knots, while also documenting a lower-speed operating point for assessing fuel use and passage planning.
