Hy guys,
may be its been discussed many times,
but since friends of mine wanted to use the boat and I told them just to fuel it up, they asked me what is the consumption so they could plan their trip (there is 0 gas stations at the river where the boat is, so you need first to fuel it up manualy using 6-7 plastic 5 gallons containers, and after that you must carry the needed extra fuel WITH YOU at longer trips..., it looks like floating bomb sometimes so no smoking on board). Since I was not sure what it is precisely, yesterday I made two runs feeding the boat with small external tank with known fuel quantity and here are the results:
Previous owner gave me quite different numbers and I never checked, giving the overconsuption to overloading the boat with people and gear, rough weather, dirty carb.. etc.. Now after all is fixed (carb, filters, spark plugs, prop etc..) and the test run was with empty boat and only 2 people on board in nice weaher.
Is this a normal consumption for this boat and engine (1999- 21' bayliner 2052 cuddy, 4.3 with 2bbl, prop -4 blade amita 19p) ?
Best regards
Martin
