    3,0 vs. 4,3 - fuel consumption?

    Have just sold a 20ft SeaRay, which i owned with a friend of mine. The boat featured a merc 4,3lx (205Hp). Now we're about to buy a new boat and we're arguing a bit about engine size. I love the power (and sound of course) of the V6 and would like a 4,3 again. My friend wants the same size boat...

    A very saddening incident took place yesterday. Went for a ride in the boat for the first time in 1,5 months - or so i thought. Full power on the battery, but i wouldn't start! It went "clonck!" quite hard. Sounds like the starter couldn't crank the engine. Tried to crank the engine manually...

    I'm still new at this, reading manuals, forums etc, but i have a problem that I can't solve on my own - hope you can help. I have a Mercruiser 4,3lx 205hp. I runs nicely, starts ok, cooling works perfect, and it does not consume more oil than it's supposed to... BUT more or less from one day...

    Planing problems - help needed!
