Our Cat powered 42 open is immediate (we have cable shifters and electronic throttles). I have however run a few boats (all volvo/shaft powered with electronic controls) where there was a delay and this was normal. However I haven't run a 42 with cummins... Are your shifters cable or electronic?

High RPM for us is 700 and we make about 7.2kts (and a wake). Low is 550 rpm, roughly 6kts and still a wake. A lot of times coming into the marina I will just have 1 engine in gear and roughly 20 degrees opposite rudder to keep the boat straight and not make a wake...
