Hi,

I've got a 28hp Suzuki, 22ltr tank and on a round trip of 10miles, which includes stopping starting a couple of times, I roughly use around 10ltrs. - So about 1ltr per mile.

What size of engine are you running?

 

[sanctuary]

40 hp Evinrude so its not to bad comparing it with your 28 hp

 

[ChrisP]

6 gallons per hour, 36mph

You had to remind me didn't you

i have a 60hp 4 stroke yamaha and used to get 90 miles on two 25 litre tanks on my shetland sheltie.i have just put the engine onto my new boat a hardy fishing 18 and get 70 miles on two tanks.the hardy weighs more thats why more fuel is burnt. still dont catch anymore though

Same boat and Engine as ChrisP, but average of 5 gallons per hour but slower @ 30mph.

Still alot better than peeing it against a wall!

Look on the bright side Chris I use over £20 of petrol just to get to the slip wished I lived next door to you or better still could afford to buy Ronnie's but you'd have to launch your own boats I'd be out fishing

 

[ChrisP]

Get Rons bought, you can get someone in to launch while you fish, or just bin the launching.

Except for mine my bestest MATE

I get 1litre per mile sometimes better, have a 75hp Mercury on a 17ft.

I have a 20 ft Ocqueteau 615 with a 80 hp Yamaha 4 stroke and it works out at about 1.3 liters per mile.

Weather looks good for tomorrow, there goes another 20 odd liters!!

Hi,

I've got a 90hp Suzuki 4 stroke, 175ltr tank and on a round trip of 30miles, which includes moving about whilst out at sea, I approximately use around 15ltrs. - So about 0.5ltr per mile.

A lot obviousely depends on the tide strengh and wind - I fish the North sea so I know quite a bit about bad weather? On a rough day (force 6 NE winds) this consumption can nearly double when travelling out!

Hope this helps!!
