Re: fuel comsumption
You keep starting new threads here to ask questions about your outboard. That makes it very difficult for us to answer.<br /><br />Yours is a 1981 50hp. Before we can comment on whether your 45 liters is excessive, we'd need to know several things:<br /><br />1. What kind of boat is it on?<br />2. How did you operate the engine when you went out? Full throttle? Cruising? Running slow?<br />3. How long were you running the motor during your outing?<br /><br />You see, if you supply the necessary information, we can help. If not, then we have to ask.<br /><br />If you think about it, I could ask if I'm getting good fuel mileage on my Chevrolet. I went out today and used 5 gallons of fuel.<br /><br />You can't answer my question because there simply is not enough information. What model Chevrolet? How far did I drive? Was it city driving or on the highway?<br /><br />If you think about your question before asking it, you'll provide the information needed to get an answer.
