What does engine Load represent and should it be monitored?

[jorgegg]

Using the C-10 gauge, I can add 'Engine Load' to the pages, but i'm unsure what this represents or even if it should be monitored?

It's a percentage variable and I'm curious of the importance of this or not. Just looking at learning a little more about the capabilities of these engines and their controls (14 DF175).

Engine load is not a parameter that is output from the Suzuki engines, so no data will be available.

The C-10 gauges are in reality a Simrad IS-30 that have been tweaked and rebadged as a Suzuki. So they will have data items available to be displayed that other engines use but that are not applicable to Suzuki.
