Normal idle on MOST cars is 850 RPM at normal operating temperature. If it is idling that high, you may have binding linkage or the choke is not fully opening. If it is BANGING into gear, you could cause other drive train problems. You may also have a RUN ON condition when you turn the key off.
Assuming a prop, it depends on how you are propped but with a redline of 6000 rpm, most outboards perform best with a cruise in the 4000-4400 rpm range. If you want top fuel economy, get a floscan or such and see what is the most efficient for your engine and prop.
