    Fuel Quantity Indication?

    We've had a used 150 S/W II Yamaha installed on a 20' Grady. The Speedo has a fuel gauge as well and so the Techs disconnected the old standard gauge and went with the Yamaha gauge.<br /><br />The question is, can I connect both fuel gauges in parallel, off one sender? The Yamaha gauge doesn't...

The transom is 15" and we mounted a Yamaha 50 Hp 4 stroke with a 20" leg. After having concerns, the dealer moved the engine up by 1 & 3/4", exposing 3 & 1/2" of...

    2 Stroke, 4 stroke Dilemma, The Capt & JB.

    Gentlemen<br />I've decided to take a cautious approach on the 4 stroke 140 Hp Suzuki. Mainly because it's brand new this season and the local Suzuki Customer Care & Support is marginal. I don't what to be hung out to dry if there becomes issues with this engine, in it's first year of...

    Generic (Rule of Thumb) Fuel Consumption

    A fellow in the biz says rule of thumb for fuel consumption, is for every 10 Hp = 1.2 us/gal.<br /><br />Would that mean DI would be 30% less and 4 stroke 40% less?<br /><br />Any thoughts or comments?<br /><br />Thank you! David.
