How do you know if your not getting good gas millage on your 3 litre merc.
I was told 30 mph @ 3000 rpm = 3 gallons per hour in my 18 foot VIP.
My math says thats 10 miles per gallon. Would this figure seem real good?
I have seen ads for newer boats saying 3 to 6 is considered normal.
But they were fuel injected 6's or v8's. So is 10 mpg really not that bad
for a 20 year old boat and motor??? With my new Dolfin on the back I may pick up even more mpg ....
