1989 cruiser 3760. Twin 454 crusaders. 2x 150gal tanks
recently purchased the boat and am getting to know it inside and out lol. Motors are great. Both running good. Changed everything I could and currently get 3600rpm on both engines at cruising speed. 26mph with a max of 33mph. No hiccups on the engines and sound loud and great.
I filled both tanks ($1900CAD) up full as my 1 fuel guage isn't working. And wanted to play it safe.
I went out 4 times since the fill. I realized today the tanks selector switch isnt working when i had the selector shutoff closed in the middle. I realized this as i ran the 1 one tank dry. (The tank that ran dry, the fuel guage is not working) To confirm that my other engine is still fuel on the guage.
my usage per day is: 15 mins cruising at 26mph for 15 mins. Fishing for 5-6hrs on one engine and then cruising back at 26mph for another 15-20mins.
So I used 37.5 gal of fuel per day. That's about 150liters approx ($247.50) per day.
this sounds crazy to me. Do these number sound correct to other cruiser owners?
thanks in advance
